Sips & Tips
Technique
The lime wedge is optional but recommended — it adds brightness. Use plenty of ice to keep it cold. Don't overthink this one.
Balance
Bourbon's vanilla and caramel notes complement cola naturally. Jack Daniel's is the classic choice, but any bourbon or Tennessee whiskey works. Mexican Coke with real sugar is a nice upgrade.
