I don't think that Coke gets enough credit for popularizing a tropical drink made from the kola nut in the U.S. Now that kola is no longer an ingredient in
cola, it is more citrusy with lime, lemon and orange notes, despite the artificial brown color.
A Nutty Cola does the trick of reminding us that Coke is tropical. Add lime juice and the balance goes way too sour to stand, so orgeat or hazelnut syrup are needed to add sweetness and nutty flavor.
- 2 oz. orgeat or hazlenut syrup
- 2 oz. lime juice
- cola
Combine juice and syrup in a Collins glass with ice. Top with cola and stir.
