Ingredients
- 5 Ounces Coca-Cola
- 2 Ounces Jack Daniels Whiskey
- Ice optional
- Lime Slices optional
Instructions
- Start by filling your chosen glass with ice - either a highball glass for the classic presentation or 14-ounce beer can glasses for a casual feel. The ice should fill about two-thirds of the glass to ensure proper chilling and dilution.Ice
- Pour 2 ounces of Jack Daniel's Tennessee whiskey slowly over the ice, allowing it to settle. The whiskey should be at room temperature for the best flavor release and mixing.2 Ounces Jack Daniels Whiskey
- Top with 5 ounces of cold Coca-Cola, pouring gently to maintain carbonation. The cola should be well-chilled from the refrigerator for optimal taste and refreshment.5 Ounces Coca-Cola
- Garnish with a lime slice if desired, and give it a gentle stir to combine. Serve immediately while the cola is still fizzy and the drink is properly chilled.Lime Slices
Notes
- Ice Quality: Use clear ice or fresh ice cubes for the best presentation and to avoid any off-flavors that can come from freezer burn.
- Temperature Matters: Keep your Coca-Cola refrigerated and your glasses chilled in the freezer for a few minutes before serving for the ultimate refreshing experience.
- Mixing Technique: Pour the cola slowly down the side of the glass to preserve carbonation and prevent excessive fizzing.
- Ratio Adjustments: If it's your first time making this cocktail, start with the standard 2:5 ratio and adjust to your taste preference from there.
