- lemon (or lime) wedges, 1/

- At an Indian local pub playing blasting Bollywood music, prepare tall glasses.

- Pack glasses mountain-high with ice, pour 45ml each of dark rum 'Old Monk' releasing rich vanilla/caramel aromas.
- Here's the biggest flavor keystone. Uncap a bottle of India-unique strong carbonated cola 'Thums Up'—containing secret spices like cardamom/nutmeg instead of Coca-Cola—pouring instantly into glass.
- Where carbonation foam swells, powerfully squeeze fresh lemon, further loosely sprinkle Indian magic powder 'Chaat Masala'.
- Stir just once with muddler, drinking with foam. Old Monk's sweet richness, Thums Up's sharp spice feel, and Chaat Masala's sour-saltiness explode in mouth—frenzied fusion of calories and alcohol.

Trivia
[Hardcore] Mixing 'Old Monk' and 'Thums Up', India's 2 giant heads of liquor and beverage; in a sense the 'most Indian' cocktail. Thums Up has stronger carbonation than Coca-Cola and spice (betel nut/cardamom etc.) flavors, brilliantly tightening rum's rich sweetness. No liquor in this world pairs better with stall B-grade gourmets than this.
Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Drinking] Toss raw 'green chili' scraps into glass, forcibly extracting sharp grassy heat into sweet Cola and chugging!
