How to make a Citrus Coke
To make a Citrus Coke, stir with ice and strain into a highball glass: 1 oz bacardi limon and 2 oz coca-cola.
You'll need

Instructions
- 1
Pour Bacardi Limon into a mixing glass (any sturdy glass works).
- 2
Fill it with ice.

Stir for 20-30 seconds, until the outside is cold to the touch.
- 4
Strain into a highball glass filled with fresh ice cubes.

Why stir? Bacardi Limon is clear, so a gentle stir over ice chills and dilutes it without clouding the drink.
