Steps to Make Rum and Coke:
-
Fill the Glass with Ice:
Start by filling your glass all the way with ice cubes. -
Add Rum:
Pour 2 ounces of your favorite rum over the ice. You can use white rum for a lighter flavor or dark rum for a richer taste. -
Top with Coca-Cola:
Pour 4 to 6 ounces of cold Coca-Cola over the rum. The amount depends on how strong you like your drink. -
Gently Stir:
Use a spoon or straw to gently mix the rum and Coke together. -
Add Lime (Optional):
Squeeze a lime wedge into the drink for a fresh citrus kick, then drop it in as a garnish.
Optional Twist – Rum & Cherry Coke:
Try using cherry Coke instead of regular for a sweet twist, or add a splash of lime juice to make a “Cuba Libre,” the classic version of this drink.
Rum and Coke is a classic two-ingredient cocktail that’s fast and easy to make. It’s great for parties, relaxing evenings, or casual get-togethers. You can make it stronger or sweeter depending on your taste.
