Comments –

This is a fantastic staple cocktail.  It may be simple, but sometimes simple is really really good.  I’m biased because I’m a huge cola drinker – but this is something I could drink all night.  The rum isn’t overpowering, you can tell it’s there, but there really isn’t any heat or burn.  The drink is nice and smooth, and the longer it sits the more ice melts and the easier it is to forget there is alcohol in there.
