Whiskey and Coke Cocktail Recipe
The whiskey and coke is a classic for a reason. With just two ingredients, it’s one of the easiest cocktails to mix and enjoy. This drink blends the bold, rich flavor of whiskey with the smooth sweetness of cola, making it a favorite for everything from laid-back nights to weekend get-togethers. Whether we’re new to whiskey or just want something simple and satisfying, the whiskey and coke always delivers.
Equipment
- Highball glass or rocks glass
- Jigger
- Bar Spoon
- Citrus knife optional
- Citrus squeezer optional
Ingredients
- 2 oz whiskey bourbon, Tennessee, or your favorite
- 4-6 oz Coca-cola
- Lemon or lime wedge for garnish
Instructions
- Start by chilling both the whiskey and cola in the fridge.
- Fill a highball glass with fresh ice cubes.
- Pour 2 oz whiskey over the ice.
- Slowly add 4-6 oz Coca-cola by pouring down the side of the glass. This keeps the fizz from going flat.
- Stir once, just enough to mix, so we keep the carbonation lively.
- Add a wedge of lemon or lime on the rim for garnish.
Notes
It’s best not to over-stir, as that makes the soda go flat. We can always tweak the whiskey-to-cola ratio until it fits our taste. For a little twist, try squeezing the citrus wedge into the drink for extra zip.
