Notes
That’s it. The Scotch to soda ratio can change the flavor quite a bit, so feel free to adjust it based on what you like. If you want a stronger drink, use less soda. If you want something lighter and easier to sip, add a little more.
In general, less soda works better when you’re using a premium single malt. More soda usually makes more sense with a budget-friendly blend when you want a longer, more relaxed drink.
