Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.69 / 5
The Jerry & Cola is a simple twist on the classic rum and coke, utilizing spiced rum to augment the flavors of the traditional mix. It combines the distinctive notes of cola with the rich, nuanced tastes of spiced rum, and a hint of citrus from lime to cut through the sweetness. Typically served in a lowball glass, this refreshment is a casual drink that boasts a balance of sweetness, spice, and a touch of tanginess, creating a familiar yet distinct sipping experience. It’s a straightforward cocktail that's well-suited for relaxed gatherings or as a quick and easy option for those who appreciate the warming spice of rum in a carbonated, chilled beverage.
