FAQs

The ideal ratio of whisky to soda is 1:1 or 1:2 since it keeps the whisky profile balanced and highlighted; have a 1:3 ratio for lighter taste. 

Light weight and smooth whiskies are ideal for making a whisky soda. For example, using blended scotch whisky or bourbon makes a good base for this cocktail; smoky and peaty options could also work well.

Ideally, pre-mixing whisky and soda water is not recommended as the fizz will dissipate and make the cocktail lose its effervescence. Chill the whisky and soda separately instead and mix just before serving.
