Easy cocktail with common ingredients.
Cocktail Colin says:
If you're looking for an easy cocktail with common ingredients, the *Whisky and Coke* and the *Rum Collins* are excellent choices. These cocktails both feature familiar ingredients that are likely already in your pantry or easy to find in any convenience store.
The *Whisky and Coke* is straightforward and classic. It combines whiskey and cola, providing a balanced, refreshing taste with a hint of vanilla undertones from the cola. This drink is super accessible and enjoys worldwide popularity because of its simplicity. Plus, it’s not shaken, only stirred, making it incredibly easy to prepare.
On the other hand, the *Rum Collins* offers a more refreshing alternative with a bit of a citrus kick. It mixes white rum, fresh lime juice, sugar, and soda water. This drink is shaken to balance the tartness of the lime with the sweetness of the sugar and the effervescence of the soda water, making it a vibrant and satisfying option for a hot day. Both these drinks score high in terms of ease of preparation and delicious flavor profiles.
