My husband and I enjoy going out once in awhile on a date night. We will typically go out for dinner and drinks while a babysitter keeps on eye on the kids. It’s a great way for us to re-connect and spend some one-on-one time together. With that said, Covid-19 has kept us at home for almost a year. No dinner nights out, no drinks out with friends, etc.

The past few months I’ve been teaching myself how to make some of our favorite cocktail drinks. You can find a ton of easy-to-make cocktail recipes on the TwoClassyChics blog, other websites, and over on YouTube. We like our drinks well-chilled, so I’ll chill our glasses for an hour or two before preparing the drink.
Cuba Libre Cocktail Drink Recipe
5 oz. Cola
2 oz. White Rum
Ice Cubes
Fresh Lime Wedge
Mint Leaf
Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Pour in the 2 oz. of white rum and 5 oz. of cola (soft drink). Garnish with a fresh lime wedge and a mint leaf. Serve immediately.

I do like to have a rum drink to relax at times. I shall try this recipe at some point, probably at night when I would want to relax more.
I especially like a drink like this on a nice spring or summer evening relaxing on my deck. I like the lime and mint garnish to make it extra special.
When I was a freshman in college we went up in the mountains to have fun and drink. (silly teenagers, you know). We had rum and coke. I passed out. I will not drink this drink.
