Captain & Coke
Spiced rum and cola make a straightforward highball, but a measured ratio and cold ingredients produce a more balanced glass than an unplanned pour. This home preparation follows the familiar style named on Beiruty’s drinks menu rather than a restaurant-specific recipe. Captain Morgan contributes vanilla and spice notes, cola brings sweetness and carbonation, and a squeeze of lime adds a fresh edge. Plenty of solid ice keeps the drink cold without requiring constant stirring. Build it directly in the serving glass so there is no extra dilution from shaking or transferring.
