Garnish: Exactly one small thin orange half-wheel and one small dark cocktail cherry on one very short plain pick

1. 01

   Pre-chill one Collins glass, prepare clear cubed ice, and assemble one small orange half-wheel with one small dark cherry on a very short pick.

2. 02

   Measure the Canadian blended whisky, fresh lemon juice, and rich simple syrup into a shaker.

3. 03

   Fill the shaker about three-quarters full with solid cold ice and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds.

4. 04

   Strain into the chilled Collins glass filled with fresh clear ice, leaving enough room for the soda.

5. 05

   Top with chilled soda water and stir only briefly from the bottom so the carbonation is preserved.

6. 06

   Set the single compact orange-and-cherry pick at the rim and serve without a straw or another garnish.
