Spezi Libre is a playful German twist on the classic Cuba Libre, swapping regular cola for Paulaner Spezi’s signature cola orange flavor. The result is bright, citrusy, fizzy, and a little more interesting than the usual rum and cola.
Rum gives the drink warmth and depth, while Spezi brings cola, orange, sweetness, and bubbles all in one pour. A squeeze of lime, or Limette, keeps everything sharp and refreshing.
It is an easy drink for parties, backyard grilling, casual dinners, game day spreads, or anyone who wants a German inspired cocktail with very little fuss.

Serve with grilled sausages, burgers, barbecue, salty snacks, pretzels, roasted nuts, or spicy foods.
