Notes
- Use quality, clear ice to ensure slow melting. The slower the ice melts, the less diluted your whiskey will be.
- Every element counts. A quality whiskey will shine through and really makes a difference.
- The whiskey-to-soda ratio is typically 1:3, but feel free to adjust according to your taste.
- Be gentle while stirring. An aggressive stir can lead to a flat drink by eliminating the bubbles in soda.
- Instead of lemon, try as a garnish a sprig of mint, a twist of orange peel or even a cherry for a unique twist.
