I now know at least two people originally from Cuba, so it intrigued me why what is normally referred to as Rum & Coke, was given this much more glamourous name. I thought it might be an especially inappropriate name given that many have escaped since the revolution, and many who live there consider their lives to be far from free. But Wikipedia to the rescue informs thusly.
Where others might be sipping on Eggnog, Atholl Brose, or mulled wine, here in the heat of South East Asia, a Cuba Libre makes a nice change from the usual tipple in this household. And more importantly, it's too sweet to be moreish.
Lindaraxa's Garden has recently written about An English Christmas Menu, so I thought it might be nice to link this internationally. I think I'll now move onto that Veuve Clicquot you're serving with the smoked salmon.
