Method

Cocktail

1

Build (Highball)

Fill a highball glass with ice cubes. Add 2 oz Jim Beam Red Stag and 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice. If you prefer a slightly sweeter, brighter drink, add 0.25 oz simple syrup and 1 dash Angostura bitters.

2

Top with about 4 oz cola. Stir gently 6–8 times to combine without losing too much carbonation.

Garnish & Serve

3

Garnish with a maraschino or brandied cherry and a lemon wheel perched on the rim (or squeeze the lemon wedge into the drink and drop it in). Serve immediately with a straw.
