We are sentimental souls at Polka Dot Bride and the Her Name Was Coca for Cocktail Friday was an invention by one of our patterned people who worked at a bar and somehow ended up at a wedding blog. This easy cola-based cocktail recipe idea is surprisingly delicious with the blend of cola, ginger, and rum- with lime, of course, because lime seems to be the key in turning many cocktails into something amazing!

Serve with plenty of ice to make this one deeply flavoured favourite in the warmer months.

Ingredients:

10ml Grenadine

1/4 tsp ground ginger or ginger powder

50ml cola

15ml bourbon or spiced rum

5ml lime juice

Ice

Method:

In a cocktail shaker, combine grenadine, ground ginger, bourbon and lime juice.

Muddle together well.

Pour over ice and top with cola.

Stir

Garnish with lime wedge.
