How to make a Coconut Cola

Build it in a highball with ice cubes. About 2 minutes.

  1. Fill a highball glass with ice cubes.
  2. Pour the coconut rum, lemon juice, and Coca-Cola directly into the glass.
  3. Garnish with a lime slice.

Bartender’s tips

  • Ensure the Coca-Cola is well-chilled before pouring to keep the ice from melting too quickly.
  • If you do not have fresh lemon juice, you can substitute it with fresh lime juice for a similar citrusy balance.
  • Use large, solid ice cubes to prevent the drink from becoming watered down too fast.
