History:
Depending on where you are, a Cubata is:
UK - a gin-based equivalent to the light rum-based Cuba Libre.
USA - an aged/dark rum-based Cuba Libre.
Spain - pretty much any distilled spirit mixed with cola. Indeed, in Spain, where gin is the dominant spirit, gin mixed with cola is also known as an RAF, apparently historically due to Royal Air Force servicemen based in Spain favouring this service.
Review:
Hard to hate but the cola and lime dominate the subtle gin flavours.
