When did a "cooler" begin to imply a cola drink? I've seen more than one cola "cooler," but this one stands out as the best. It has to do with Kammer Kirsch's high 45-percent ABV and its bright cherry flavor that is not unlike rum. Yes, this is just a cherry cola (Pepsi pictured), but it is also a good drink, specifically because of its simplicity.
- 2 oz. kirschwasser (Kammer Kirsch used)
- cola
- lemon slice
Build drink in a Collins glass full of ice. Pour kirsch into the glass and top with cola. Stir gently and garnish with the lemon slice.
