What garnish would be best?

A: I've recently learned of a new cocktail and I love it. I want to add it to my bar's drink menu to see how it sells. Unfortunately, the one who told me of it didn't add a garnish.

What do you think would be a decent garnish to the following mixed drink?

1-1.5oz chocolate vodka
Almost fill w/ cola
2-3 squirts MIO drink flavoring (some kind of berry for best effect)
Served in an old fashioned glass.

Tastes exactly like it's name; Tootsie Pop.

I thought about using the actual candy as the garnish, but not sure if that would look right. A plastic stick? People might mistake it for a straw.

So what are your thoughts?

A pretty straw.. but can you ditch the cola.
@Spoiledbrat It'd be too strong in both alcohol and flavoring. Straws are a weak garnish. Cocktails are meant to be sipped.
Hence the straw... 🙂🙃 @PolyamorousPlaymates
@Spoiledbrat Straws don't promote sipping like you might think.
Maybe an umbrella... @PolyamorousPlaymates
@Spoiledbrat Hmm. Maybe.
If you’re using a martini glass you probably don’t need anything...
...Or straw
