The rum and coke is an incredibly simple yet satisfying cocktail. Everything you need to know about mixing this popular drink is right there in the name. That said even the simplest of mixed drinks can be made a little better (or worse) and deserve a little more attention than they often get.

How to make a Rum and Coke
At its most basic level the rum and coke is as simple as a dash of your favorite rum into a tall glass filled with ice. Light rum is popular in this drink (such as Bacardi) but dark rums can also be used. It’s topped off with a Coke (Coca-Cola is the soda of choice) and a wedge of lime. As many drinkers can attest however it’s easy to get a bad rum and coke.

"The rum and coke or Cuba Libre can be a lot more than just a starter cocktail. The key? Make sure your ingredients are balanced. Pay attention to how much coke you pour and use a decent white rum for that tropical cane flavor. Keep everything ice cold (even the glass) and don't skimp on the lime wedge!" —Tom Macy
