A refreshing twist on the classic Cuba Libre, this recipe adds a tropical flair with a hint of coconut and a splash of pineapple juice.
Fill each glass with ice cubes.
Use large ice cubes to slow down melting and keep the drink chilled longer.
Pour half an ounce of dark rum into each glass.
Measure the rum accurately for consistent flavor in each serving.
Squeeze the juice of a lime into each glass and drop the squeezed lime halves in.
Roll the lime on the counter before cutting to extract more juice.
Add one ounce of coconut water and one ounce of pineapple juice to each glass.
Ensure the coconut water and pineapple juice are chilled for a refreshing drink.
Top each glass with two ounces of cola and stir gently.
Stir gently to retain the carbonation of the cola.
Garnish each glass with a slice of lime and serve immediately.
Serve with a straw for easy sipping and an elegant presentation.
