Real Cuban-American Heritage
Libre Rum & Cola
MIAMI, FLORIDA, USA
Founded by Bradley Tuyn in 2016, Libre Rum & Cola is the original rum and cola ready-to-drink beverage.
“We're taking the old standard, Cuba Libre, and kicking it up a notch with imported 3-year oak barrel aged rum, the best tasting cola, sweetened with raw cane sugar, and a twist of natural lime juice. Libre Rum & Cola® is a Ready-to-Drink (“RTD”) cocktail in a 12 oz. can - created for customers seeking an alternative to malt-based cocktails. It is portable, convenient, high-quality and great tasting!”
Originally released as a diet product, the brand redevelopment in 2018 under the creative direction of Joshua Berman and Punch Design Co. The new position embraced the Cuban-American heritage and took inspiration from the era of its origins. Signaling “spirits-first” and nodding to its premium, imported Central American rum, the packaging was updated to reflect the new story, as well as the new price point.

“We engaged Joshua Berman and the Punch Design team for our product re-launch. They completed thorough market research and re-branded our product to better appeal to both investors, at the capital raising stage, and to our consumers, who love the new packaging design and artwork that they created.
Terrific work they’ve done for us - you can just hear our cans on the shelves singing over the mediocre competition!”
