For my rum fam! Pregunta! Cuba Libre!

So, summer is here, it's hot as fuck, and I am about to finally get my cigar on. Makes me think, I want to sit out on the back porch in the evening and take in my classic Cuba Libre and stogie. I've never been fancy here, because outside of nice watches I've always been a degenerate loser who drinks cheap beer and falls down. But, in the spirit (lulz) of my newfound baller status, I'm trying to class the classic up. Guy I work with swears by adding a splash of vermouth and a lime, because when added to the coke and rum it becomes magical and really ups the game on this most simple of drinks. But he is mostly an idiot so I do not fully trust him here. Plus, what the fuck do I know about Vermouth anyway? Sounds classy. So I need advice.

Welp, I KNOW this place has game when it comes to drinking good shit, so help me out. What's your recipe for adding some zip and panache to the old classic Cuba Libre?

I am normally a Bacardi guy, but open to suggestions across the board on how to have a rock star rum based summer stogie pleasure experience.

@Dennis_DeYoung you better weigh in here

Havana club(from cuba) silver you can get in the states now. Do so. You will not regret this decision one bit.

There are better rums but this is standard. Better than bacardi(which will still work) but not so good you are wasting it in coke.

If you really feel the need to futz with the recipe then you need to think of things that go with coke. The list isn't long. Vanilla, orange, cherry, hookers, etc.

Put a splash of said flavor bitters, actual high end vanilla, or a good liqueur or brandy such as gran gala(orange) or Galliano (vanilla).

Thas' it bro. Plenty of ice. Dont fuck up the carbonation.

Look brah. Clear rum, Bacardi is fine, and real coke. Like Yella said. The beauty of the 🇨🇺 Libre is its simplicity. You want complicated get into faggy Martinis. Leave it alone. You're already complicating your life. Leave well enuff alone.

You're getting this advice from a real Cuban.

/thread
To add to Creep’s point you should use a Cuban or Puerto Rican type rum in the drink.
Cuban if you want to go top drawer. Puerto Rican if you feel like slummin'. It's ok. We all do sometims.
Imagine being afraid of a little Cuban rum

Cuban rum will seduce your wife with its gold chain and spicy dance moves. Careful!

And yet by the grace of god, I could probably afford several when my Toto shitters die. I’ll give you a call when the tim comes and ask for the Hardcore Husky discount.

Ok. Sorry you couldn’t afford the best, but if you get to the point you can, you know where to find me. I can probably do a 15% discount. I have that much pull.

The guy that owned the house before me either couldn’t afford or was a cheap fuck. Like my neighbor @BennyBeaver I’m not in new build where we get to decide these in advance.

I would shit on my neighbor’s front lawn everyday if he would stop calling animal control on me. Being forced to shit in a toilet is a violation of my natural rights.

Pretty sure Seattle agrees with you on this point.
