Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 Ounces White Rum
  • ¼ - ½ Ounce fresh-squeezed lime juice
  • 6-8 Ounces Mexican Coca-Cola
  • Lime garnishes

Instructions
 

  • Place a scoop of fresh ice in a mug or highball glass.
  • Pour in all ingredients and stir until mixed.
  • Add lime wheels or wedges for garnish.

Notes

You can 'muddle' the lime in the glass for a more intense lime flavor from the oils of the lime.
Feel free to experiment with different rums to make this drink, but stick with a white rum for an authentic taste.
Use the leftover lime pieces in the drink for garnish and flavor.
