FAQ's
What type of whiskey is best for a Whiskey and Coke?

However, many people prefer using a bourbon or a rye whiskey for their mix because of their smooth, sweet profile that complements the cola well. You can experiment with different brands and ages to find your preferred taste.
Can I use diet cola for a Whiskey and Coke?

How should I serve a Whiskey and Coke for the best taste?
For the best taste, serve a Whiskey and Coke cold. Use a lowball glass, fill it with ice, add the whiskey, then top off with cola and stir gently. This ensures that your cocktail is well-chilled and dilutes slightly with the ice for a smoother taste.
