Notes
Substitutes:
- Gold Rum: I've occasionally used white rum when I ran out of gold rum. It provides a lighter flavor, while dark rum can make the drink more robust and flavorful.
- Cola: If you're not a fan of regular Cola, you can opt for diet cola or cherry-flavored Cola. Another option is using ginger ale for a different twist.
Making a Pitcher:
- Scale: To make a pitcher that serves 8, you'll need 16 oz of gold rum and 32 oz of Cola.
- Mix: In a large pitcher, combine the gold rum and Cola. Stir them together.
- Serve: Pour the mixture into individual ice-filled Highball glasses, garnish with a lime wedge, and serve the fun!
Making it Non-Alcoholic:
- Gold Rum Substitute: Use a non-alcoholic rum or a mix of pineapple juice and coconut water to mimic the tropical rum notes.
- Proceed As Usual: Replace gold rum with the non-alcoholic substitute and follow the original steps to enjoy a non-alcoholic version.
