Equipment

  • 1 High-ball serving glass

Ingredients

  • 2 ounces whiskey (¼ cup)
  • 4 ounces cola (½ cup)

Instructions 

  • Fill a high-ball serving glass with ice cubes.
  • Add your preferred amount of whiskey or bourbon.
  • Top with your desired amount of coke. Taste and adjust your ratio if need be.
  • Enjoy as is, or optionally, add a squeeze of lemon and a garnish. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • This drink recipe is for one serving. If you’re hosting a crowd, you can multiply the ingredients by the number of guests and make the drink in a punch bowl or large pitcher.
  • You can squeeze some fresh lemon or lime into a whiskey and coke to elevate the flavor.
  • This mixed drink is best enjoyed as soon as it is made as it will lose some of its carbonation over time. So it is best to serve this drink soon after making it.
  • The classic Whiskey Coke ratio is 2 to 1. But if you like a boozier drink feel free to add additional vodka or reduce the amount of coca-cola in each serving.
  • You can serve this drink with crushed ice or whole ice. Just keep in mind that as the ice melts it will start to slightly dilute the drink.
