Ballantine’s B2B Cocktails – Whisky Cocktails Served Hot or Cold!

When the cold nights hit, it’s good to know there are warming drinks options to try if that’s the kinda mood you’re in and well, if you’re not, there’s cold cocktail recipes to choose from too.

We selected four ice cold Ballantine’s whisky cocktails and then turned up the heat for a hot-damn-that’s-good alternative. All taste buds are covered as we go from timeless classics like the Hot Toddy, to serves we can guarantee you’ve never tried before like the Ballantine’s New True Sour. So, whether you like your whisky cocktails served warm or prefer to keep things cool, there’s something for you to enjoy.

See the recipes below and take your pick (or why not try both!).

Round 1: Ballantine’s Hot Chocolate vs Ballantine’s Shake.
