Top with cola
Gently top the drink with 4 oz cold cola. Pour slowly down the side of the glass to preserve some carbonation and create a layered effect.
- 6
Finish and garnish
Gently stir once with a bar spoon (1–2 slow turns) to integrate the cola with the spirit mix. Garnish with a lime wheel on the rim and optionally tuck a mint sprig into the drink for aroma.

Notes
If you want to can this mixture to take away, keep the spirit mix and cola separate until serving; fill cans with 4 oz spirit mix and 4 oz cola over ice at serving time to preserve carbonation.
