Hard Cory

1 oz Jim Beam bourbon whiskey
1 oz 151 proof rum
1 oz amaretto almond liqueur
1 oz triple sec
2 oz cola


Special instructions:
I, Tim Shriver invented this drink for my friend Cory who is a fan of Jim Beam, 151 rum and Amaretto, at Illinois Weleyan University in Bloomington, Illinois. Based on a drink called the Hard Core, it seems only to be popular with the man it was invented for. I fear this drink won't be the next Harvey Wallbanger. Originally, this drink was served ungarnished. Be careful, this is a very potent drink. If desired, it may be served in a larger collins glass and diluted with more cola.Build this drink, in order, in an ice-filled highball glass, stirring well in the serving glass before filling with cola. The 2 oz of cola is an approximation. It is intended to be filled to the brim with cola, to dilute the alcohol, and mixed gently so as not to flatten the carbonation. A garnish of a marachino cherry and/or lime or lemon is optional.
