How much Cuba Libre for 6 people — exact measures?
Exact Cuba Libre measures scaled for your guest count — ml per ingredient and short procedure.
Quick answer
Hosting 6 guests? One Cuba Libre per person scales cleanly: **dose × number of drinks**. Base recipe (50 ml Rum · 120 ml Cola) × **6** = your shopping list. Use the party buttons for 10 or 20 — the pain point is batch math before a summer terrace, not memorising IBA ratios.
- Rum
- 300 ml
- Cola
- 720 ml
- Lime wedge
- 6 wedge
- Ice
- fill glass
How to make it
- Fill highball with ice.
- Add rum and squeeze lime wedge.
- Top with cola, stir once.
⚠️ Drink responsibly.
Formula: base dose × number of drinks × glass factor. Non-ml items (splash, mint) stay per-glass notes. Spirits are not sold via our links — use the list when shopping locally.
How it works
We link **bar tools** (shaker, jigger, glasses) — not spirits (Amazon restrictions). Measure locally, mix with the short procedure below, and keep ice and fresh garnishes separate until service.
Frequently asked questions
What are the classic Cuba Libre proportions?+
50 ml rum, 120 ml cola, lime — the "Rum & Coke" with fresh citrus.
How do I scale Cuba Libre for a party of 20?+
Set drinks to 20 — every scalable ingredient multiplies by 20 (and by glass size if you use large cups). Buy spirits with ~10% extra; soda and ice do not store like wine — prep ice in batches and top with fizzy mixers just before serving.
Can I premix everything ahead of time?+
Batch rum + lime juice; cola per glass when serving.
Do you sell the alcohol through this page?+
No — we only suggest bar tools (shaker, glasses, jigger). Buy spirits and vermouth from your local shop; the calculator gives exact ml for your guest count.
