Rum Runners - Rum and Coke

Welcome back everyone to Mixers for your Mixers! Today we will be focusing on a more simplistic mixer that will guarantee to stimulate your taste buds. Today's drink is the famous Rum and Coke. This mixer is, by far, one of the most common and best Rum-based mixers in bars today. The best quality of this drink is that any rum brand or type of rum (overproof, premium, Gold, dark) can be  used in this mixture and  the difference in quality is small. So let's get started with our mixer!

The following ingredients are involved in the mixture of this drink:

1 8 oz. can of Coca-Cola
1 1/2 oz. of preferred rum

Step #1:
Pour 1 1/2 oz. of your preferred rum into a glass

Step #2:
Pour  1 8 oz. can of Coca-Cola into the glass

Step #3:
Stir ingredients together for a few moments and serve "on the rocks" (with ice).

A simple, yet exquisite, mixer

When properly mixed,the beverage should have anywhere from a very sweet to semi-sweet flavor. It all depends on the type of rum that was used as the liquor base in this concoction.  Lighter rums, alongside some premium rums, tend to deliver a more sweet, vanilla flavor than compared to those made with stronger rums. With  stronger rums, such as Bacardi's 151, the drink will still possess that vanilla flavor, however, it will be of a semi-sweet nature compared to the others. A nice little addition to make this a little more interesting is to add a small splash of Malibu Coconut rum to add a little sweetness to this concoction.
