Pomegranate Cuba Libre

This cocktail is perfect for the home bartender or anyone looking for a easy and tasty cocktail treat. Have you ever had a Cuba Libre? It’s a very simple mixture of lime, coke, and rum! This makes for a great twist on the normal rum and coke. Today, I wanted to add my spin on this classic by adding pomegranate to the mix. The pomegranate adds a fruity flavor without adding more sweetness to the drink. Also, if you are having people over it’s a fun way to kick up the normal rum and coke cocktail. Let’s celebrate rum with this tasty and fun treat! Cheers!
