- 3/4oz Cruzan Black Strap Rum (thanks Amanda and the Digges!)
- 1/4oz Grenadine
- Fill with Coca-Cola
Tried a variant on regular Rum and Coke. Turns out darker rum does not sit as well as I was hoping; the lighter rum gives a less overpowering rummy flavor. It’s also possible I didn’t mix enough – darker rums are heavier. The Grenadine is a classic “cherry coke” method and it worked well here. Overall, slightly disappointing and a waste of the good rum, honestly.
