GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS Holder for Largest Cuba Libre Cocktail comes from Canada

Hosted at their cocktail bar and distillery, Romero served their premixed Cuba Libre cocktail in a custom 264-gallon glass.

On July 7, 2022, Romero Distilling Company (Romero) became the verified GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS holder for the Largest Cuba Libre Cocktail. Surpassing the previous record-holder of 132 gallons, Romero more than satisfied the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ attempt with a 264-gallon Cuba Libre Cocktail.

As Western Canada’s premier craft rum producer, Romero uses top-quality Canadian ingredients, including molasses and glacier-fed water from the Rockies to craft their rums and cocktails. All of the distilling equipment Romero uses is also Canadian-made.

The distiller has perfected a dark, amber, and spiced rum that are all distilled in copper pot stills and mature in once-used Kentucky bourbon barrels.

“Romero’s GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ Largest Cuba Libre Cocktail, which filled the four-foot cubed glass, was made with the perfect ratio of Romero’s award-winning rum, lime juice and cola,” says co-owner, Tom Romero. “By using quality locally-sourced ingredients, we have not only made the world’s Largest Cuba Libre Cocktail, but also quite possibly the most delicious one yet.”

“As the only rum-driven distillery in Western Canada, Romero has afforded many, including myself, the unique opportunity to enjoy quality, locally-crafted rum,” says Romero Ambassador and WWE Hall of Famer, Bret Hart. “Whether you are enjoying a bottle of their award-winning dark rum or visiting Romero’s prohibition-inspired cocktail bar, you can always count on a luxurious experience.”

Romero is built on a rich and mostly untold history of rum-running during Prohibition from the Blairmore Hotel in the Crowsnest Pass.
