Real cane cola makes a difference in this classic highball. Try to find Mexican Coca-Cola or Boylan sugar cane cola if you can.

My Grandfather (a Caribian guy) had it always with a few 'Angostura' Drops... And it made the Difference!

I add a few drops of Aztec chocolate bitters to the rum before adding Mexican Coke.

Costco, and some times BJ's, stock cases of Mexican Coca Cola. I agree that the cane sugar makes a whole world of difference in the flavor, helped by the fact that the soda is in glass bottles and not cans.
