Method

Build & Serve

1

Prepare glass

Fill a highball glass or large rocks glass about three-quarters full with fresh ice.

2

Add spirits

Pour 2 oz blended whiskey, 1 oz vodka, and 1 oz light rum over the ice. Using rail (well) bottles keeps this a budget-friendly mixed drink.

3

Add mixers

Add 3 oz sweet-and-sour mix to the glass, then top with 3 oz cola. Stir gently with a bar spoon 6–8 times to combine without over-diluting.

4

Bitters & garnish

Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters on top, gently stir once to integrate. Garnish with a lemon wheel or wedge on the rim and drop in a maraschino cherry.

5

Serve

Serve immediately with a straw. Offer napkin and short stirring straw for guest to adjust sweetness.
