Raúl Musibay: "Cuba Libre" means "Free Cuba." Unfortunately under Castro, the name of this drink has become a joke.
Jorge Castillo: In Miami, we call this drink "La Mentira" -- the Lie.
Raúl Musibay: That's becuase there is no freedom in Cuba today. If you drink one, it's a nice gesture to make a toast: "Here's to a FREE and democratic Cuba!"
The classic rum and coke drink with a promise of a free Cuba.
