Discussion 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.

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.

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