Notes

This cocktail, while simple, benefits greatly from attention to detail. Ensure all liquid ingredients are well-chilled before mixing; temperature is paramount for a refreshing drink. The cinnamon whiskey and spiced rum offer robust, warming profiles; using a quality cola will provide the necessary balance without overwhelming the spirits. Stir gently after adding the cola to preserve its carbonation. For an elevated presentation, a simple lime wedge or orange peel twist can complement the spiced notes beautifully, adding a fresh aromatic lift. Avoid over-dilution by using large, fresh ice cubes.
