Saw this in a cocktail guide years ago and modified it: Collins glass packed with crushed ice, 2 shots of bourbon, one full teaspoon of angostura.. and whatever extra splashes off it, no harm. Top off with Coca Cola (I like using the Mexican cane sugar stuff), swizzle and swill.
No garnish usually, but if there's mint on hand, that'll add a nice whiff of fresh 'n' bright to each sip. It's a snap to prepare, quite refreshing, and while I agree it's no marvel of complexity, upping the bitters brings out the cola and bourbon flavors with less cloying sweetness than a regular whiskey and coke.
