This classic mix was allegedly so named in the early 1890s when a group of off-duty American soldiers were gathered in a bar in old Havana drinking rum and the new soft drink , Coca-Cola. The captain raised his glass and sung out the battle cry that had inspired Cuba's victorious soldiers at war - Cuba Libre!. The Cuba Libre peaked in popularity during the 1940s. During the war all spirits production was turned to industrial alcohol – in the absence of whiskey and gin Americans turned to rum.
