Step 3
Mix 60 ml rum with freshly made lime juice in a shaker. Use the dispenser to measure the correct amount of rum. For the Cuba Libre cocktail, Bacardi light rum is best suited.
Step 4
Pour the rum-lime mixture obtained in a shaker into a glass with ice cubes. The prepared cocktail does not need to be stirred any more. Decorate the edge of the glass with a lime wedge. You can use an accessory like a paper umbrella.
