Mixy’s Rum and Coke {MixThatDrink Original}

The recipe for a Rum and Coke is included in the name of the drink. You use about twice as much Coke as rum, and that’s it – and it’s good. There are, however, many variations on this recipe, and that’s where it starts to get interesting. With no further ado, let’s get to Mixy’s Rum and Coke recipe, which uses amaretto to bring out the almond-cherry flavor of the coke.

Mixy’s Rum and Coke {MixThatDrink Original}

• 6 ounces cola
• 2 1/2 ounces dark rum
• 1/2 ounce amaretto

Pour the rum into a glass over ice. Add the amaretto next. Fill the rest of the way with cola. Garnish with a maraschino cherry.

With a recipe this simple, there’s no end to what you can do. Try a flavored cola – cherry or vanilla. Try Captain Morgan’s spiced rum for something completely different. Try any flavored rum. We’d love to hear your best combinations in the comments section!
