Review

The name of this popular Cuban drink literally means 'stained Cuba' and there is just enough cola in this rum and soda to stain the drink brown.

Flat. That's the word. Taste of water. Just a way to spoiled/ruin some Havana Club.

Found this a little flat in flavour. After trying it, decided to put a dash of Pimento Dram (as I make by Cuba Libra with spiced rum), but that made it a little better taking it from an ok to an OK. Not sure, but thinks it is missing something.
