Ingredients
Step by step process
Preparation
- 1
Cut each lime into quarters, squeeze the juice from one quarter per serving directly into a tall glass (ideally a highball or Collins).
- 2
Drop the used lime quarter into the glass. it will give the drink a fresh citrus aroma for the duration of drinking.
- 3
Fill the glass about two-thirds full with ice cubes.
Mixing
- 4
Pour 50 ml of white rum into each glass over the ice.
- 5
Top up with chilled cola to the rim and gently stir once or twice with a long spoon from bottom to top, so the ingredients combine without losing carbonation.
Serving
- 6
Serve immediately while the drink is icy and fizzy, you can garnish the glass with a lime wheel or quarter on the rim.
More tips:
Use a good-quality Cuban or Caribbean white rum, cheap rums can leave an unpleasant aftertaste that cola won't hide.
Always add freshly opened, well-chilled cola so the drink keeps maximum carbonation.
