About
Captain and Cola is the definitive two-ingredient rum cocktail — a simple, endlessly satisfying pairing of spiced rum and cola that has made Captain Morgan one of the best-selling spirits in the world. The caramel sweetness and carbonation of cola complement the vanilla, cinnamon, and clove notes of spiced rum perfectly, creating a drink that is greater than the sum of its parts: smooth, slightly sweet, and gently spiced with a clean cola finish. It requires no skill, no special equipment, and no more than thirty seconds to make, yet it delivers consistent, crowd-pleasing results every single time.
Instructions
- Fill a highball glass or rocks glass with ice.
- Pour spiced rum over the ice.
- Top with chilled cola and stir gently once to combine — just enough to mix without losing carbonation.
- Garnish with a lime wedge squeezed over the top and dropped in, if desired.
