Which cocktail uses Bacardi light rum as preferred base?

Cuba Libre Rum & Coke Scotch & Soda Gin Rickey

Correct Answer:

Cuba Libre

Explanation:

A Cuba Libre centers on a light, clean rum base complemented by lime and cola. The classic way to build this drink is with Bacardi light rum, which provides a bright, smooth rum flavor that pairs perfectly with the tart lime and sweet cola. The lime is key here, giving the drink a distinctive brightness that sets it apart from a plain Rum & Coke, which doesn’t require lime and can vary more with the rum used. The other options rely on different base spirits entirely—scotch or gin—so they don’t fit the idea of a rum-based cocktail.
