Citrus Coke falls into the Highball family, a simple yet refreshing combination of spirits and mixers. This classic combo likely emerged in the late 19th century, as both rum and cola were popular beverages. The citrus twist adds a modern touch to this timeless drink.
Citrus Coke is a refreshing and zesty cocktail with a familiar sweetness. The Bacardi Limon’s citrus notes, primarily lime, dance on the palate, cutting through the Coca-Cola’s cola and caramel sweetness. The overall effect is a vibrant and playful drink that’s perfect for a hot day or as a casual nightcap.
For a refreshing Citrus Coke, use a chilled highball glass and fill it with ice. Pour in the Bacardi Limon first, followed by the Coca-Cola. This ensures the rum’s citrus flavors are well-integrated. A squeeze of lime or a lime wedge garnish adds a beautiful touch and enhances the citrus notes. Remember, you can adjust the ratio of rum to Coke to your liking, making it a perfect balance of sweet and tart.
