Citrus Refreshing

Citrus Coke is a simple and refreshing two-ingredient cocktail that adds Bacardi Limón citrus rum to Coca-Cola, creating a light, lemon-kissed rum and cola variation that is an easy-to-make, flavored upgrade to the classic Cuba Libre. At 8.32% ABV, it is a light and sessionable highball designed for straightforward, casual drinking. The Bacardi Limón's citrus flavoring pairs naturally with the caramel and vanilla notes in Coca-Cola.

History & Origins

Citrus Coke is a modern bar and home cocktail creation with disputed origins, a simple variation on the classic rum and cola that substitutes standard rum with Bacardi Limón for an instant citrus upgrade. The combination reflects the broader trend of flavored rum cocktails that accelerated in the 1990s with the introduction of flavored spirits to the market. No single inventor or historical documentation exists for this recipe.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Lemon-citrus from the Bacardi Limón with the familiar cola sweetness of Coca-Cola. Palate: Sweet and refreshing; the citrus rum's lemon flavor integrates pleasantly with the Coca-Cola's caramel, vanilla, and carbonation to create a lighter, citrusy take on rum and cola. Finish: Clean and sweet, with a lemon-citrus note.

Pro Tip

Pour the Coca-Cola into the glass over ice first, then gently add the Bacardi Limón to prevent the carbonation from foaming over, and stir very gently.
