This classic Dominican cocktail is made with Brugal white rum or with Brugal Añejo, which is my preferred one. It’s refreshing and so simple to put together. The Sprite and lemon give it an amazing tropical taste.

Is Santo Libre like a Cuba libre?

You must be thinking to yourself that this is very similar to a Cuba Libre, the most popular cocktail in Cuba, and yes, you are right! We basically created our own cocktail inspired by the Cuban staple.
