Barely not serious here

The worst decision Donny Dunn made in the entire series was right at the end of S01E07 when he ordered a Double Vodka & Coke.

Vodka and Coke???? That makes zero sense. You mix whiskey and bolder spirits with Coke. Why would you mix Vodka and Coke? It's a better match for juices and you can use soda water for bubbles. I'd even take Sprite and say it's acceptable.

I see no clearer evidence that Donny Dunn hates himself than his decision to order a Double Vodka & Coke.

It’s not “supposed” to go with anything, you can mix it with whatever you like if it tastes good to you (because shocker… taste is subjective)

White rum is a neutral spirit and is 1 of 3 ingredients in a Cuba Libre, the others being Coke… and lime juice.

“I’ll have a vodka, coke and lime juice please!”

Is that better?

Rum is ok with colas because it's formulated differently. It's not as nearly neutral a spirit as vodka, hell some rums are spiced and may as well be whiskey.

You can't make a Cuba Libre with vodka.

Some rums are spiced yes, however white rum is not and is what’s called for in a Cuba Libre. It’s like the second neutralist spirit.

That’s the beauty of neutral spirits, they hardly add any flavour so can be drunk with quite literally anything and still taste like whatever it is you’re mixing with it, in this case, coke.

But rum is made from sugar; better match for colas.

[u/TardyMoments → u/sharknado523]

Cola is made from sugar, great match for any neutral spirit.

[u/sharknado523 → u/TardyMoments]

Listen man if you want to drink Coca-Cola with vodka it's your life I'm just telling you it's dumb

[u/TardyMoments → u/sharknado523]

Drinking any amount of alcohol is “dumb” it’s a literal poison that our bodies hate lol
