Rum and Coke

Ingredients:

• 2 ounces of rum (light or dark)

• 4 to 6 ounces of Coca-Cola (adjust to taste)

• Ice cubes

• Lime wedge (optional for garnish)

• Glass: Highball or any tall glass

Steps to Make Rum and Coke:

1. Fill the Glass with Ice:
   Start by filling your glass all the way with ice cubes.

2. Add Rum:
   Pour 2 ounces of your favorite rum over the ice. You can use white rum for a lighter flavor or dark rum for a richer taste.

3. Top with Coca-Cola:
   Pour 4 to 6 ounces of cold Coca-Cola over the rum. The amount depends on how strong you like your drink.

4. Gently Stir:
   Use a spoon or straw to gently mix the rum and Coke together.

5. Add Lime (Optional):
   Squeeze a lime wedge into the drink for a fresh citrus kick, then drop it in as a garnish.

Optional Twist – Rum & Cherry Coke:

Try using cherry Coke instead of regular for a sweet twist, or add a splash of lime juice to make a "Cuba Libre," the classic version of this drink.

Rum and Coke is a classic two-ingredient cocktail that’s fast and easy to make. It’s great for parties, relaxing evenings, or casual get-togethers. You can make it stronger or sweeter depending on your taste.
