rum and coke

I'm with Bee, this might have been how I had my first taste of hard liquor. But I probably haven't had a rum and Coke in 30 years. It seemed like an easy way to tolerate the taste of alcohol when I was a youngster learning to drink. I generally avoid any sugary addition to booze now.

I think I had a Smirnoff Ice once about 5 years ago.

If a sheltered 21 year old who's never had a real drink goes to the bar, then this would probably be the drink he would order.

Even with very cheap rum, this should be the last drink you'd make. I've only had rum and coke when I ran out of other stuff to mix it with. It's a desperation drink.

First mixed drink I ever had. Had one the other day. Apparently I am now jaded because they just don't have the same kick they seemed to when I was 19. Come to think of it - what the hell does?

...am I reviewing "Scarface" again ?

Rum and Coke is always a good start, but there is also many other things that I would rather put with my rum.

A waste of perfectly good rum, as far as I'm concerned.

I'm always opposed to mixing Coke with good alcohol. I'm also not a fan of the spiced rum that a lot of people seem to prefer in rum and cokes. Good dark rum definitely has it's uses, and even light rum is useful in frozen drinks, but neither of those need to be anywhere near Coke.

Well. . .it's a better use of Coke to say the least. . .

Why are there two entries for this? It's the elixir of life.

This is some good (hiccup), some good (hiccup), some good (hiccup), I like it.

While a steller combination, numbah is right with these not being exclusive. Rum goes with Dr. Pepper and other additives, and more then just rum can spice up your Coke. I like Old Number 7 in my Coke from time to time, as one example.

I put them together quite a bit, but they don't require the other to be complete. There are other things I can put in Coke and there are other things I can add rum to.

Known where I came from as the "Dark and Dirty". Two parts dark and the result is always dirty.

On occasions when nursing a drink is called for.
