Method
Cocktail
Chill glass
Place the rocks glass in the freezer for a few minutes or fill it with ice and water to chill while you prepare the cocktail.
Combine base ingredients
Add 2 oz black spiced rum, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz simple syrup and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters into a cocktail shaker filled halfway with ice.
Shake
Secure the shaker and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until the shaker is cold to the touch and the mixture is well chilled and slightly diluted.
Prepare glass
If you chilled the glass with ice water, discard that ice. Add 2–3 large ice cubes to the chilled rocks glass.
Strain and top
Strain the shaken mixture into the rocks glass over the large ice. Top gently with 2 oz dark cola to add effervescence and a touch of sweetness. Stir once gently with a bar spoon to combine (about 3 revolutions).
Garnish & Finish
Express the oils of a lime wheel over the drink by holding the wheel skin-side down above the cocktail and giving it a firm squeeze, then rub the rim with the wheel and drop it into the drink.
Optional: grate a small pinch of fresh nutmeg or cinnamon over the top for an aromatic finish.
Service
Serve immediately while chilled. Recommend enjoying with a short straw or sipped slowly to appreciate the spiced rum character balanced by citrus and cola.
