Best way?
Cut the existing wire. Strip back enough to solder. Strip the additional wire to the same length. Twist the "new" wire onto one of the "existing" wires.

Using something like liquid electrical tape coat the splice and let dry. Slide the shrink tubing over the splice and shrink it (heat gun is best).
