Also known colloquially as a 'Rum and
Coke', this is the classic, no-frills, good-old-days drink that remains to this day: a simple mixture of a Bacardi Rum (typically Bacardi Superior) and Coca Cola - nothing else needed. Don'
t bother with
Pepsi; there's not enough 'body' to that soda to make it right. If you're feeling adventurous, a double-shot can replace the
single in exchange for a stronger
alcoholic taste. And if you live on the edge, use a shot of bacardi 151 instead for the great taste of a Superior-
single with the potency of a Superior-double (in fact, most who dare try bacardi 151 will attempt this method over all overs).
No offense to the other definitions, but they couldn'
t be more incorrect - many a straight man, myself included, order these as their drink of choice; however, the love for such classics isn'
t restricted by sex, gender, personality, sexual orientation, or anything other than knowing what you want, a desire to enjoy yourself, and actually having good taste.
Bartender: "What'll it be,
sir?"
Me: "Just a double-Bacardi and
Coke,
please."
Bartender: "A classic! You got it."
