VIDEO HOW-TO
NOTES
The classic ratio is 1 part rum to 2–3 parts Coke, depending on your sweetness and strength preference. No need to shake—just build it right in the glass. Looking to add a twist to your cocktail? Check out the Cuba Libre!
Fun fact! The Andrews Sisters helped make the drink even more popular in the 1940s with their hit song "Rum and Coca-Cola." Catchy and boozy — just like the drink.
