Whiskey Cola is probably the simplest and most popular longdrink of all: two ingredients that everyone knows and loves. The sweet, spicy whiskey melds with the fizzy cola into an easygoing classic. A splash of lime lifts the whole thing to a new level and provides the necessary freshness.
Instructions
- Fill a highball glass with ice cubes.
- Pour the bourbon over the ice.
- Top up with well-chilled cola.
- Squeeze a lime wedge and drop it into the glass.
- Stir briefly and serve.
Garnish: Lime wedge
Pro tip: Pour the cola slowly down the side of the glass - this preserves the carbonation longer and makes the drink fizzier.
Frequently asked questions
Which whiskey goes best with cola?
A bourbon with sweetish vanilla and caramel notes harmonizes ideally with cola. Tennessee whiskey such as Jack Daniels is also very popular.
What is the right mixing ratio?
The usual ratio is one part whiskey to three parts cola. If you like it bolder, use more whiskey, if you like it milder, more cola.
Do I really need the lime?
The lime is optional, but it brings a fresh acidity that nicely balances the sweetness of the cola. Just give it a try.
