Tips To Ease Your Job!
- Pre-Chill Everything – Keep your whiskey and cola in the fridge so the drink stays cold longer without needing excess ice.
- Use a Measuring Tool – A jigger helps get the perfect whiskey-to-cola ratio every time, ensuring consistency.
- Slow Pour for Better Fizz – Pour the cola down the side of the glass instead of directly onto the ice to preserve carbonation.
- Try Flavored Ice Cubes – Freeze cola or citrus-infused water into ice cubes for extra flavor without dilution.
- Stir Gently – Over-stirring can make the drink flat, so a quick swirl is all you need.
