Ingredients
2 oz (60 ml) white or gold rum
4 oz (120 ml) cola (e.g., Coca-Cola)
Ice cubes
1 lime wedge (for garnish)
Instructions
Fill a highball glass with ice cubes.
Pour the rum over the ice.
Top with cola and stir gently to combine.
Squeeze the lime wedge over the drink and drop it into the glass or rest on the rim.
Serve immediately.
Tips
Use a good-quality rum for best flavor; gold rum adds a richer taste.
For a stronger drink, use 2.5 oz rum and reduce cola to 3.5 oz.
Chill the cola beforehand to keep the drink cold without diluting too quickly.
Garnish with a maraschino cherry for a sweeter touch.
