It's refreshing and rich, better than the actual highball since could have as many as you want without a hangover the next day...well, maybe a few extra minutes at the gym but that's always a good thing.
I was checking Wiki for the origins of Rum and Coke aka Cuba Libre and I found a whole variety of cocktails derived from this popular one, Cuban Missile Crisis, Midas, "Hot" Cuba Libre and my favorite name so far, Witch Doctor, sounds perfect for Halloween don't you think.
What are your plans for this last week (kind of) of summer? Some good fun family get together, last minute picnic? a labor day parade? whatever it is, I hope you think of including this delicious drink in your menu! It is good and even better when you add a Pinch of Love!
Besitos,
Lizy

DeleteI had never heard or rum extract...GREAT idea
ReplyDeleteIt is pretty much as vanilla extract Heather and as expensive too! I don't know why these extracts are so expensive...but they really make a difference in the recipe if you don't want to use real alcohol! Thank you so much for your visit.
