Method
Cocktail
Prepare glass
Fill a highball glass with ice until nearly full (about 1 cup). Using plenty of ice keeps the drink cold and limits dilution.
Add rum and lime
Pour 2 oz white rum over the ice. Add 0.5 oz fresh lime juice (about half a lime).
Top with cola
Slowly top with 4 oz cola, pouring down the side of the glass to preserve some carbonation and create a gentle mixing.
Express and garnish lime
Take 1 lime wedge, squeeze and rub the peel over the surface of the drink to release oils, then drop the wedge into the glass as a garnish.
