Tips & Suggestions
Preparation Tip 1
When adding cola, tilt the glass slightly and carefully pour it down the side, allowing it to fall over the ice and spirit to preserve optimal carbonation while preventing excessive fizz.
Preparation Tip 2
Place the whisky bottle in the freezer for 15-20 minutes before creating the drink. Starting with a pre-chilled spirit reduces ice melt and keeps the beverage cold for longer.
