Description
Ingredients
2 ounces white rum
1 lime(s)
Coca-Cola

Instructions

Squeeze a lime into a Collins glass, add 2 or 3 ice cubes, and pour in the rum (we like the golden type and really like a darker, more flavorful riserva). Drop in one of the spent lime shells and fill with cold Coca-Cola. Stir briefly.

This patient responds exceptionally well to Baker's Procedure, something cooked up by Charles H. Baker in his 1939 Gentleman's Companion. It requires you to muddle the squeezed-out lime shell in the bottom of the glass before adding the rest of the ingredients, in order to extract a little of the rind's bitter oil. Actually, though, this should be called Kappeler's Procedure, since it was George Kappeler who, in his 1895 Modern American Drinks, suggested it be employed to treat one Thomas Collins, then suffering from a slight case of the blahs.
