Ingredients
2 oz (60 ml) light or dark rum
4 oz (120 ml) cola (e.g., Coca-Cola)
Ice cubes
1 lime wedge (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Fill a highball glass with ice cubes.
Pour the rum over the ice.

Garnish with a lime wedge if desired. Serve immediately.
Tips
For a stronger drink, use 2.5 oz rum and 3.5 oz cola.
Chill the glass and cola beforehand for a colder drink without diluting too quickly.
Try different rums: dark rum adds molasses notes, while light rum gives a cleaner taste.
