Whisky is known for its complex depth of flavour, and can always be enjoyed neat. But when paired with other ingredients, its versatility comes out. Whisky can be sweet, spicy, savoury, or smoky — and often a good mixer can help it shine. Here are 7 best Whisky mixers.
Whisky and cola is a classic combo. The sweet caramelly flavours of cola are a delicious match for the honeyed rich notes of scotch.
The sweet citrus soda is a light pairing, perfect for those who aren’t so keen on stronger drinks.
A whisky tonic is as simple as it gets – but don’t underestimate its deliciousness. The tart taste of tonic and the sweet warming finish of scotch are just too good.
A go-to combo no matter the weather or occasion. The light but spicy fizz adds a hint of ginger to the smooth, honeyed scotch. Top yours with lime, lemon or a sprig of mint.
For an extra fiery tipple, give whisky and ginger beer a bash. This mixer is slightly spicier than its ale alternative, making for a super zingy drink.
There’s not much to not like about whisky and orange soda. It’s fruity, it’s fizzy. It’s your favourite holiday drink with an over-18 twist.
While the classic hot toddy recipe is made in the style of a tea, not with the hot beverage, Whisky pairs brilliantly with most teas.
