Method
Prepare & Mix
Add spirits and modifiers
Fill a mixing glass or shaker with the measured ice. Pour in 2 oz Captain Morgan, 0.5 oz fresh lime juice and 0.5 oz simple syrup. Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters.
Stir gently
Stir the mixture with a bar spoon for about 10–15 seconds to chill and dilute slightly. Stirring is preferred over shaking to keep the drink smooth and clear.
Assemble the drink
Discard the chilling ice from your serving glass (if you used ice to chill) and add fresh ice to the glass. Strain the stirred mixture over the fresh ice.
Top with cola
Top the drink with approximately 2 oz cold cola (or ginger beer if using). Gently fold once with a bar spoon to combine without flattening the carbonation.
Finish & Garnish
Taste and adjust: if you prefer a brighter, tarter profile, add another 0.25 oz lime juice; for sweeter, add 0.25 oz simple syrup. Add a final tiny stir if you adjust.
Garnish the drink with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim and optionally a mint sprig slapped (to release aroma) and tucked into the glass.
Serve immediately with a straw or sip directly. Enjoy responsibly.
