Rum and coke with limes.


My husband is home for the holidays! And what better way to celebrate not having to work for 4 days than to have a rum and coke and a few salt and vinegar crisps (chips for the Canadians)?! We started drinking Havana Club rum after a trip to Cuba a few years ago and have remained fans ever since. They do a great 7 year one, this particular one is the 5 year one. You should roll the lime around on the counter top to help release the juices then squeeze a 1/4 lime into a tumbler and run the wedge around the rim too! Lots of ice! Real Coke! You could almost believe you're lying on the beach with the ocean air around you and the warm sun above you but in reality it's -10 with the wind chill and there is snow/ice outside! Oh well! The crisps are Miss Vickies, hand made, kettle cooked, with sea salt and malt vinegar flavouring. The salty/sour flavour really compliments the sweet drink. Happy holidays!x
