Review:

Bourbon and cola with a splash of aromatic bitters. America's answer to Britain's G&T is a sight more rock 'n' roll – or even heavy metal. In contrast the G&T is more Chamber orchestra.

Reminiscent of college - hard to make a combo of bourbon and cola taste bad. Dressed up a bit with bitters, and more careful attention to measurements. Super easy, and pretty much any bar has cola, bourbon and Ango.
