Garnish:
Lemon wedge
How to make:
SHAKE first 8 ingredients with ice and strain into ice-filled glass. TOP with cola and briefly stir.
| 1/3 fl oz | Light white rum (charcoal-filtered 1-4 years old) |
| 1/3 fl oz | Hayman's London Dry Gin |
| 1/3 fl oz | Ketel One Vodka |
| 1/3 fl oz | Patrón Silver blanco tequila |
| 1/3 fl oz | Agave Sec liqueur |
| 1/2 fl oz | Sugar-free sweetener |
| 5/12 fl oz | Lemon juice (freshly squeezed) |
| 5/12 fl oz | Lime juice (freshly squeezed) |
| 2 fl oz | Cola (e.g. Coca Cola or Pepsi Cola) |
To make Sugar-free sweetener:
Stir 2 cups of powdered Xylitol Sweetener into 1 cup of water in a pan over low heat. Allow to cool, bottle and store your sugar-free sweetener in a refrigerator. The XyloSweet brand of Xylitol Sweetener performs well.
Review:
* BEWARE: Although free of cane sugar and beet sugar, this cocktail contains small amounts of fructose sugars from the agave nectar used in the Agave Sec orange liqueur as well as natural sugars in the lime and lemon juice.
As the cola falls and bleeds its way through the otherwise clear drink (it takes noticeably long to fall than full sugar cola), it does end up looking remarkably like week black tea and indeed the taste isn't so far removed from spirit laced weak tea with citrus fruit.
