FAQ's
Can I substitute the types of rum used in a Wild Bison?
Yes, you can substitute the types of rum in a Wild Bison. While the original recipe calls for equal parts white and dark rum, you can experiment with different varieties such as spiced rum or aged rum for a unique twist on the flavor. Just be mindful that substitutions may alter the taste and alcohol content of the cocktail.
What is the best way to serve a Wild Bison?
The Wild Bison is best served cold in a lowball glass, topped up with cola. To enhance the experience, you can serve it over ice to keep it chilled longer. For an aesthetic touch, consider adding a lime slice or maraschino cherry for garnish.
What type of occasion is the Wild Bison suitable for?
Given its simple ingredients and quick preparation, the Wild Bison is suitable for casual gatherings, like barbecues or game nights. Its refreshing and familiar taste, thanks to the cola, makes it a crowd-pleaser for events where you want a laid-back, enjoyable drink option.
How does the alcohol content of a Wild Bison compare to other cocktails?
With an alcohol content of 6.86%, the Wild Bison falls into the lower range of alcoholic strength for cocktails. Many classic cocktails have a higher alcohol content, often ranging from 10% to 20%.

How can I customize the Wild Bison to fit my taste?
To customize the Wild Bison, consider playing with the rum-to-cola ratio to find your perfect balance of sweetness and alcohol strength. Adding a splash of lime juice or swapping the cola for a craft soda can introduce new flavors. Additionally, infusing the rum with spices or fruit prior to making the cocktail can give it a unique, personal touch.
