Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.62 / 5
The Crown and Coke is a simple and classic cocktail that combines the sweetness and fizz of cola with the rich, smooth notes of whiskey. Traditionally, it uses a specific type of whiskey – Crown Royal, a Canadian brand – which gives it its namesake, but it can be made with any whiskey of choice. The drink offers a balance of flavors, with the caramel undertones of the cola complementing the whiskey's warmth and depth. Served in a lowball glass, the Crown and Coke is a popular choice for those who enjoy a carbonated beverage with a subtle kick of spirits, making it a staple in bars and a favorite for casual sipping at social gatherings.

FAQ's

Preparation techniques icon

How do I properly stir the Crown and Coke cocktail?

To properly stir the Crown and Coke cocktail, fill your lowball glass with ice cubes. Pour 30ml of whiskey over the ice, then top up with cola. Use a bar spoon to gently stir the mixture for about 10-15 seconds. This method ensures that the drink is evenly mixed without diluting it too much.

Serving suggestions icon

What is the best type of ice to use for a Crown and Coke?

The best type of ice to use for a Crown and Coke is large, clear ice cubes or spheres. Larger ice melts slower than smaller cubes or crushed ice, minimizing dilution of the drink while keeping it perfectly chilled. Clear ice also adds an aesthetically pleasing element to this classic cocktail.

Ingredient substitutions icon

Can I use a different type of cola in my Crown and Coke?

Yes, you can use a different type of cola in your Crown and Coke. While traditional recipes call for a specific brand's cola, you can substitute it with any cola of your preference, including artisanal or diet versions, depending on your taste or dietary requirements.

Occasion suitability icon

Is Crown and Coke suitable for formal occasions?

Crown and Coke can be suitable for formal occasions, especially if served in elegant glassware and presented well. It's a versatile cocktail that, when made with high-quality whiskey and served with sophistication, can complement the ambiance of formal gatherings.

The alcohol content in a Crown and Coke, at 3.43%, is relatively low compared to many beers, which can range from 4% to 6% alcohol by volume (ABV) or higher.
