Method

Drink

  1. 1

    Prepare glass

    Choose a highball or Collins glass. Fill the glass about three-quarters full with fresh ice cubes.

  2. 2

    Build the cocktail

    Pour 2 oz Bacardi Superior over the ice. Add 0.5 oz freshly squeezed lime juice (about half a lime).

  3. 3

    Top with cola

    Gently pour 4 oz chilled Coca-Cola down the side of the glass so the carbonation is preserved. Stir once gently with a bar spoon (one long, smooth turn) to combine ingredients without flattening the soda.

  4. 4

    Garnish and serve

    Rub the rim with the cut lime wedge if you like extra lime aroma, then drop the wedge into the glass as garnish. Serve immediately with a straw or stirring stick.
