FAQ's

PREPARATION_TECHNIQUES

How do I properly stir the Scuba Libre to ensure the flavors are well integrated?

To properly stir the Scuba Libre, start by adding the cola, tequila, red wine, and white rum into the highball glass filled with ice. Then, gently stir the mixture with a long spoon for about 30 seconds, ensuring a smooth integration of flavors without over diluting the drink. Add the mint leaves and cinnamon stick midway through stirring to infuse their essence.

GARNISHING_TIPS

What garnishes work best with the Scuba Libre for an enhanced presentation?

For the Scuba Libre, the recommended garnish would be a lime wedge skewered on top of the glass and a sprig of fresh mint. These garnishes not only enhance the visual appeal but also complement the drink's flavor profile. Optionally, a cinnamon stick can be left in the glass as a stirrer and aromatic enhancer.

INGREDIENT_SUBSTITUTIONS

Can I substitute the white rum in Scuba Libre with another type of rum?

Yes, you can substitute white rum in the Scuba Libre with dark rum for a deeper flavor, or with a spiced rum to introduce additional warm and spicy notes into the cocktail. However, keep in mind that these substitutions could slightly alter the original taste profile of the cocktail.

How does the alcohol content of Scuba Libre compare to a standard Margarita?

The Scuba Libre has an alcohol content of approximately 14.79%, which is slightly higher than the average Margarita, which typically has an alcohol content around 12-13%. The presence of both tequila and rum in Scuba Libre contributes to its higher alcohol percentage.
