Instructions
Step 1
In order to learn how to properly mix whiskey, you first need to find out which varieties of this alcoholic drink are suitable for mixing it with cola. There are four types of whiskey: malt, bourbon, blended and grain whiskey. The first two are suitable for making "blended" whiskeys, as they are softer and richer in flavor.
Step 2
Whiskey mixed with cola is ideal for connoisseurs of this drink, who want to get the most out of it without getting drunk in the shortest possible time. Determining how much cola should be added to whiskey can only be done experimentally by changing the concentration of soda in alcohol. Some people like whiskey with a small amount of cola, while others drink almost a low-alcohol cocktail. In case the purchased whiskey was not of very good quality, by adding cola, you can successfully mask the unpleasant bitterness. An important rule: before mixing and drinking whiskey, you must cool or add a few ice cubes to the glass with the drink.
Step 3
The tasting of a cocktail of whiskey and cola should start with the "classic" version of this mixture: a proportion of 2 parts of whiskey and 1 part of cola. This is the option that is served in bars and restaurants and is considered traditional. Don't forget to add crushed ice.
Step 4
If you like getting to know the classic cocktail, then you can try its more exotic options. Add a slice of lemon to the cocktail - its sourness will in no way violate the harmony of taste, only complement it with an unusual note. You can replace the lemon with a small amount of apple juice - the taste of the cocktail will become much brighter and richer. Fans of mixing several types of alcohol will love the idea of adding a little vermouth to whiskey and cola.
