Johnnie Walker Black and Blood Orange Cocktail

Whisky
Author: Ashifa Bano
A bottle of Johnnie Walker Black Label whisky next to a cocktail garnished with orange, a straw, and party decorations on a blue carpet.

A perfectly balanced blend of zesty citrus flavours, paired with smoky whisky and blood orange soda, this contemporary take on a whisky highball is a great way to introduce a variety of citrus elements. Swap the orange juice for any other cold-pressed citrus juice of choice and allow the soda to provide texture and mouthfeel to the drink while tying flavours together cohesively.
