Top gently with chilled cola (about 3 oz). Pour slowly so the cola floats and creates a layered effect; you may stir lightly once to integrate if desired.

Garnish with 2 maraschino cherries (skewer if preferred) and a lemon wedge on the rim.

Serve immediately with a straw. Advise guests that this is a strong cocktail and to sip responsibly.
