J&B Rare Cola Twist
This contemporary take on a classic mixed drink combines the smooth and delicate flavour of J&B Rare Blended Scotch Whisky with the fizzy taste of chilled cola. Subtle hints of honey and vanilla from the liquor pair perfectly with the cola’s spicy sweetness, creating a seamless blend of flavour.

- 30mL J&B Rare Blended Scotch Whisky
- 90mL chilled cola
- 1for garnish lemon twist
- One large ice cube
Method
- Step 1
Place one big ice cube in a short glass to cool the drink and reduce dilution throughout preparation and consumption.
- Step 2
Pour the blended Scotch whisky straight over the ice, keeping the spirit cold without disturbing the structure of the cube.
- Step 3
Finish with 90 ml cold cola poured slowly to retain carbonation and achieve equilibrium of spirit and mixer.
- Step 4
Stir slowly for 10 seconds, followed by the addition of a lemon twist for fragrance, before serving immediately without allowing the drink to settle.
Tips & Suggestions
Preparation Tip 1
Select a blended Scotch with subtle smoke; very heavily peated whiskies may overwhelm the sweetness of the cola and disrupt the desired balance.
Serving Tip 1
Serve over ice in a chilled highball or rocks glass to keep the drink cold and fizzy without further dilution or loss of flavour.
