Method

Prepare and Build

1

Chill glass

Place a highball or Collins glass in the freezer for 5 minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare ingredients to ensure the drink stays cold.

2

Measure and combine spirits and citrus

In a mixing glass or shaker without ice, pour 1.5 oz white rum, 0.5 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.25 oz demerara (or simple) syrup. Stir briefly to combine — you are not diluting yet, only marrying flavors.

3

Add ice to glass

Discard the chilling ice water (if used) and fill the chilled highball glass with crushed ice or ice cubes, leaving about 1 inch of headspace at the top.

4

Build the cocktail

Pour the rum-lime-syrup mixture over the ice, then slowly top with 6 oz chilled Coca-Cola. Pour gently down a bar spoon or the inside of the glass to preserve carbonation.

5

Stir gently

Using a bar spoon, give the drink one or two gentle turns to integrate the cola and spirit without flattening the soda.

Garnish & Serve

6

Garnish

Express oils from a lime wedge over the drink by squeezing it briefly, then drop the wedge or place a lime wheel on the rim. Add an optional cocktail cherry for color.

7

Serve

Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer so the drink can be refreshed. Recommend enjoying while soda is still effervescent.
