Sips & Tips
Technique
The lime wedge is what makes this a cocktail instead of just a mixed drink. Squeeze it in — don't just drop it. Use plenty of ice to keep it cold.
Balance
White rum is cleaner and lets the cola shine; dark rum adds vanilla and caramel complexity. Both are valid — it's a matter of preference.
History
Variations
Spiced Rum & Coke
Use spiced rum (Captain Morgan or Kraken) for vanilla and cinnamon notes that complement the cola.
