Maple Cola Smash cocktail kit

A glass of cola with ice cubes and a lemon wedge, on a wooden surface.

This cocktail hits that perfect sweet spot between bold, smooth, and refreshing—the kind of drink that feels both classic and just a little elevated.

Rich bourbon warmth blends with the deep caramel notes of Coca-Cola, while a touch of real maple syrup adds a smooth, slightly smoky sweetness. Fresh lemon juice cuts through it all with a bright citrus snap, keeping it crisp and dangerously easy to drink.
