Each recipe has been carefully crafted to showcase the exceptional character of our award-winning rums—from the smooth versatility of our Silver Rum to the rich complexity of our Gold Medal Dark Rum.

Funk Harbor Rum & Cola

Some cocktails are born from complexity, requiring precise measurements and specialized techniques. Others achieve perfection through simplicity—and few drinks embody this truth better than the classic rum and cola. Known throughout the Caribbean as a Cuba Libre when served with lime, this timeless combination has been a staple at beach bars, backyard gatherings, and late-night celebrations for generations.

What makes this drink truly special isn’t elaborate preparation—it’s the quality of the rum you choose. Funk Harbor Rum transforms this simple classic into something extraordinary. Whether you prefer the smooth, versatile character of our Silver Rum or the rich, complex depths of our award-winning Dark Rum, each brings its own personality to the glass. The caramel sweetness of cola complements the rum’s natural sugarcane notes, while a squeeze of fresh lime cuts through with brightness and balance.

This is the drink of easy afternoons and effortless evenings, proof that the best things in life don’t have to be complicated. Just premium rum, cold cola, plenty of ice, and good company—everything you need for a perfect moment.

What You’ll Need

  • 2 oz Funk Harbor Rum (Silver or Dark)
  • 4-6 oz Cola (to taste)
  • Ice Plenty of fresh ice
  • Garnish: Lime wedge

Putting it Together

  • Fill a highball glass to the top with fresh ice.
  • Pour Funk Harbor Rum over the ice.
  • Top with cola, adjusting the amount to your preferred strength (4 oz for stronger, 6 oz for milder).
  • Give the drink a gentle stir to combine.
  • Squeeze a lime wedge over the drink and drop it in, or place it on the rim as garnish.

Pro Tip

Fresh lime makes the difference: Don’t skip the lime—it elevates the drink from simple to spectacular. The citrus brightness balances the sweetness and adds complexity. Squeeze it directly into the drink for maximum flavor. Choose your rum: Try both Funk Harbor Silver Rum for a lighter, crisper drink, or Dark Rum for richer, more complex flavors with notes of caramel and vanilla.
