  1. Oh Yes! Damn fine drink my dear. Only thing better than one of these is 3 or 4, aahyayayayaya! Works fine with Diet, Caffiene free Coke too!
     
  2. Damn fine indeed! My Coke lately has been Coke Zero and it turns out very well using that. A generous squeeze of lime in the glass and rubbed around the rim for good measure! I adore this drink!
     
  3. This is my happy hour drink of choice. I only use Captain Morgan's spiced rum, though. Dropping in those lime shells is a must!
     
  4. I used lime cola. I`m not a fan of rum and coke. But this one is good with the juice of a lime and the lime coke. Refreshing. This is what my DH favors where I adore my Mojitos! Those Cubans know how to make good drinks! Cheers!
     
  5. Delightful! One of my favorites since the 50's. I not only remember the Andrews Sisters, I also remember the originial version of "Drinking Rum and Coca Cola" that was going around the clubs in both Havana and Havana del Norte (Miami).

I'm really just learning how to cook, but I hope that my skills at eating will really guide me in this endeavor. ;-) I think that sharing recipes on the internet is better than any cookbook. Of course, I founded Recipezaar, so I might be a little biased.
