| | Cuba Libre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Cuba Libre gained further popularity in the U.S. after the Andrews Sisters recorded a song (in 1945) named after the drink's ingredients, "Rum and Coca-Cola." Cola and rum were both cheap at the time and this also contributed to the widespread popularity of the concoction. | | | This drink was once viewed as exotic, with its dark syrup made, at that time, from cola nuts and coca. | | | Patriots aiding Cuba during the Spanish-American War—and, later, expatriates avoiding Prohibition—regularly mixed rum and Cola as a cocktail and a toast to this West Indies island. |
