Rum and coke

Rum and coke, or the cuba libre ( kew-bə lee-bray, spanish: [ˈkuβa ˈliβɾe]; literally "free cuba"), is a highball cocktail consisting of cola, rum, and in many recipes lime juice on ice. traditionally, the cola ingredient is coca-cola ("coke") and the alcohol is a light rum such as bacardi; however, the drink may be made with various types of rums and cola brands, and lime juice may or may not be included. the cocktail originated in the early 20th century in cuba, after the country won independence in the spanish–american war. it subsequently became popular across cuba, the united states, and other countries. its simple recipe and inexpensive, ubiquitous ingredients have made it one of the world's most-popular alcoholic drinks. drink critics often consider the drink mediocre, but it has been noted for its historical significance.

Drink

Arabica coffee

Coffea arabica (), also known as the arabic coffee, is a species of flowering plant in the coffee and madder family rubiaceae. it is believed to be the first species of coffee to have been cultivated, and is currently the dominant cultivar, representing about 60% of global production. coffee produced from the (less acidic, more bitter, and more highly caffeinated) robusta bean (c. canephora) makes up most of the remaining coffee production. arabica coffee originates from ethiopia and was first cultivated in yemen, and documented by the 12th century. coffea arabica is called ‏بُنّ‎ (būnn) in arabic, borrowed from the oromo "buna".

Drink

Cafe crema

Caffè crema (italian: "cream coffee") refers to two different coffee drinks: an old name for espresso (1940s and 1950s). a long espresso drink served primarily in germany, switzerland and austria and northern italy (1980s onwards), along the italian/swiss and italian/austrian border. in germany it is generally known as a "café crème" or just "kaffee" and is generally the default type of black coffee served, unless there is a filter machine.as a colorful term it generally means "espresso", while in technical discussions, referring to the long drink, it may more narrowly be referred to as swiss caffè crema. in addition, there is also italian iced crema caffè. variant terms include "crema caffè" and the hyperforeignism "café crema" – "café" is french, while "caffè" and "crema" are italian, thus "café crema" mixes french and italian.

Drink

Caffè mocha

A caffè mocha ( or ), also called mocaccino (italian: [mokatˈtʃiːno]), is a chocolate-flavoured warm beverage that is a variant of a café latte (italian: [kafˈfɛ lˈlatte]), commonly served in a glass rather than a mug. other commonly used spellings are mochaccino and also mochachino. the name is derived from the city of mocha, yemen, which was one of the centres of early coffee trade. like latte, the name is commonly shortened to just mocha.

Drink

Cappuccino

A cappuccino ( (listen); italian pronunciation: [kapputˈtʃiːno]; italian plural: cappuccini) is an espresso-based coffee drink that originated in austria with later development taking place in italy, and is prepared with steamed milk foam (microfoam).variations of the drink involve the use of cream instead of milk, using non-dairy milk substitutes and flavoring with cinnamon or chocolate powder. it is typically smaller in volume than a caffè latte, with a thicker layer of microfoam.the name comes from the capuchin friars, referring to the colour of their habits, and in this context referring to the colour of the beverage when milk is added in small portion to dark, brewed coffee (today mostly espresso). the physical appearance of a modern cappuccino with espresso créma and steamed milk is a result of a long evolution of the drink. the viennese bestowed the name "kapuziner", possibly in the 18th century, on a version that included whipped cream and spices of unknown origin. the italian cappuccino was unknown outside italy until the 1930s, and seems to be born out of viennese-style cafés in trieste and other italian areas in austria-hungary through the kapuziner coffee in the early 20th century. the drink spread from trieste, the main coffee port in central europe, throughout italy, especially after world war i and later worldwide, and can be found at a number of establishments.

Drink

Cortado

A cortado is a beverage consisting of espresso mixed with a roughly equal amount of warm milk to reduce the acidity. the milk in a cortado is steamed, but not frothy and "texturized" as in many italian coffee drinks. the cortado comes from spain, most likely madrid, where it is commonly served.the word cortado is the past participle of the spanish verb cortar (to cut), in the sense of "dilute", and can refer variously to either coffee or espresso drinks throughout spanish and portuguese speaking countries.

Drink

Robusta

Coffea canephora (syn. coffea robusta, commonly known as robusta coffee) is a species of coffee that has its origins in central and western sub-saharan africa. it is a species of flowering plant in the family rubiaceae. though widely known as coffea robusta, the plant is scientifically identified as coffea canephora, which has two main varieties, robusta and nganda.coffea robusta represents 43% of global coffee production, with coffea arabica constituting most of the remainder. there are several differences between the composition of coffee beans from c. arabica and c. robusta. beans from c. robusta tend to have lower acidity, more bitterness, and a more woody and less fruity flavor compared to c. arabica beans.
