J&B Classic Cocktail

Whisky
Author: Ashifa Bano
Four different cocktails in various glasses are arranged in a row on a dark surface, each garnished with citrus slices, against a dark background.

Essentially the ‘whisky and cola’ cocktail, this variation of the Cuba Libre is an easy-to-make recipe that utilises minimal ingredients. Featuring a rare, blended scotch whisky, the concoction is ideal to experiment with when it comes to ratios, for amateur bartenders.
