The cocktail was created in Havana, Cuba in 1902 to celebrate Cuba's independence from Spain. At that time, when a captain of the U.S. Signal Corps was celebrating Cuba's victory at an American bar in Havana, he ordered a Cuban Bacardi rum with Coca-Cola and a squeeze of flash lime, which became a popular cocktail because it was so refreshing and delicious. It has been called "the most ordered cocktail in the world". The acidity of the lime reduces the cola-sweetness, giving it a clean, refreshing taste that would go well with a meal. If the lime is not squeezed into the drink, it becomes a "Rum Cola".
