I've been carrying around a ripped-out page of Martha Stewart Living — with a recipe for vanilla rum colas — since the September issue of the magazine came out. I finally got to mixing the drinks this weekend because they were the perfect cocktail to pair with Oscars!
The recipe is a simple classic — basically it's a rum and coke — with a twist. Vanilla extract and orange wedges pump up the flavor, making for a delightful and refreshing cocktail. Want the recipe? Just, read more.

Hmmm, I have some Vanilla Rum at home. I may try using it for this (minus the extract)
1These don't sound good to me.
2I use Vanilla Coke Zero and Vanilla Rum, SO delicious (that is, if you love Vanilla flavor as much as I do, lol)
3this would be yummy!
4This drink was really good! And I highly recommend using the vanilla extract instead of vanilla flavored rum, it really pumped up the flavor.
5Yummy! I always liked mixing vanilla flavored vodka with Coke too.
6mmm, I may have to try this. You ladies keep me on my toes.
7Why do I want to put ice cream in this ???
8Hmmmm very different...
9vanilla+cola= yum!
10Hah at the ice cream comment.

11This looks really good, I have some Three Olives Vanilla Vodka at home so I may just try it!
