Cuba Libre

A zero-alcohol canned take on the rum and cola classic from Estonian brewer A. Le Coq. Cola sweetness, fresh lime, and a caffeine hit in a 330ml can.

About This Drink

This pours exactly like cola and drinks like a familiar long drink. The lime is clear and present throughout rather than sitting in the background, and the cola character is rounded and sweet rather than sharp. Caffeine is in the mix, which is a sensible touch for a drink mimicking something that traditionally has rum in it. Pour it over ice in a tall glass and it holds up well. The balance between sweetness and citrus acidity is competent. It reads like what it is: a well-made canned mocktail that knows what job it is doing.
