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 piece of the fruit that you are adding-- so, raspberry for raspberry MIO,etc.

@PolyamorousPlaymates Well, my initial instinct was a simple sprig of mint, but depending upon the fruit flavor involved, this could turn out like OJ after toothpaste. 🤮

Not that most folks eat the garnish...
@GwydionFrost True, but the garnish is mainly visual. Gives the patron an idea of the flavor, theme, or feeling the drink will later inspire.
