Unusual Ways Of Being Impolite
You should be aware of one cultural peculiarity among Cubans, which is that they consider blowing one’s nose in public to be the epitome of rudeness. When you have a cold or allergies, it is advisable to excuse yourself and take care of business in private rather than in public.
It is possible to say the same thing about spitting in public, an act that the vast majority of civilized people hate but which is casually condoned in many locations.
The Libre Cocktail
This highball cocktail is traditionally prepared with cola, rum, and lime juice and is often served over ice. There are several different recipes for this drink. The cola component is normally made using Coca-Cola, while the alcohol component is often made with a light rum like Bacardi.
The cocktail may be prepared with a selection of different brands of rum and cola, and lime juice can be used or omitted as desired. After Cuba gained its independence from Spain during the Spanish–American War, some time in the early 20th century saw the invention of the cocktail on the island nation. A straightforward preparation method, in addition to low-cost and easily accessible component parts, contributes to the widespread appeal of this alcoholic drink.
