Cuba Libre
What’s better then getting introduced to the Cuba Libre on the Caribbean island of Cuba.
When cold winter blanket covers northern hemisphere we do head south to recharge, discover new, enjoy and relax, whenever we can. When down there, we also introduce our taste buds to new flavors. Some we do bring with us and enjoy afterwords wile remembering sun and a beach but they do not last forever. In today’s world there is always a product or two from south just around the corner, in the local store, and who knows, that little effort of getting up and preparing a southern meal or drink could easily recharge batteries just as a trip itself.
