To make this cocktail, all you need is Captain Morgan Original Spiced Rum and Coke (you can aways get fancy and used Mexican Coke, which is still made with real cane sugar).The history of the Captain and CokeLike its cousin the Rum and Coke, the Captain and Coke owes its existence to an earlier drink, the Cube Libre (aka, "free Cuba", a rallying cry from the conflict). A byproduct of the Spanish-American war that saw the latter nation's most famous export combined with Cuban rum, it went from Havana to the United States in the early 1900s and found widespread popularity as a simple, thirst quenching drink.While the Rum and Coke was typically made with Cuban-style light rum, the drink was adapted to various types of rum, including Captain Morgan's spiced product. How to Make a Captain and Coke The drink is as straightforward to make as it sounds. All you need at hand is some Captain Morgan (or another spiced rum) and Coke. The ratio of this popular drink is a matter of personal preference, so how many ounces of Coke or ounces of rum it may contain is ultimately up to the drinker-though we think that two ounces of rum and four to six ounces of Coke is generally a good rule of thumb. Popular Rums for a Captain and CokeThe name itself implies Captain Morgan would be the best rum for making this drink, but there's nothing to stop you from using a third party spiced rum like The Kraken. But if you go that route, maybe don't call it a Captain and Coke, lest you confuse the bartender or your friends.
