12 Whisky Drinks For Spring Sipping

Whether it’s a casual garden hangout or an unexpected heatwave, these whisky cocktails bring the right energy. Here’s what to mix up this spring.

PEACH WHISKY ICED TEA

Nothing says spring like the first iced tea of the season. And it’s gotta be a Peach Whisky Iced Tea. Fresh, juicy, and ridiculously refreshing, this one’s made for unexpected heatwaves, rooftop drinks, and those first proper warm days of the year.

Hugo

Spring means spritz season, and the Hugo is all about light, floral flavours. Made with Ballantine’s Finest, elderflower liqueur, lemon, and prosecco, it’s a crisp, floral cocktail that’s seriously drinkable. Perfect for easy-going afternoons that turn into evenings.

Whisky Apple Mule

Sharp, crisp, and ultra-refreshing. A Whisky Apple Mule  has got the kick of ginger beer with the taste of fresh apple and Ballantine’s Finest. A no-fuss drink that’s as good for sunny afternoons as it is for those still-chilly spring evenings.

Berry Beer

The first BBQ of the year? This is the one to start with first. Fresh berries, whisky, and a splash of your favourite lager make the Berry Beer smooth, refreshing, and a guaranteed crowdpleaser. Pairs well with grilled food, sunshine, and a good playlist.

Rose Petal Sour

Florals for spring might not be groundbreaking. But this cocktail is. The Rose Petal Sour mixes whisky with citrus and delicate rose flavours for a cocktail that’s sweet and unexpected. Best served when you want to impress—because it looks as good as it tastes.

Speyside Spritz

Spring celebrations call for a proper toast and the Speyside Spritz delivers. Ballantine’s 7 American Barrel, sparkling wine, and fresh lemon come together in a serve that’s light, elegant, and made for raising a glass.

Bobby Bru Whisky Sour

A whisky sour with a twist. The Bobby Bru Whisky Sour dials up the citrus with a surprise pour of Irn Bru for extra citrus tartness. Bold, sharp, and sure to get friends talking.

Ballantine’s Finest Iced Green Tea

Smooth, light, and ridiculously easy to drink. Our Iced Green Tea brings together whisky, green tea, and a little honey for a drink that’s refreshing without being too sweet. A solid pick for those laid-back spring afternoons.

Cherry Sour

This one’s all about those bold, fruity flavours. The Cherry Sour takes Ballantine’s Wild and cherry syrup and shakes them up with citrus for a tangy, sweet whisky cocktail. 

Stay Berry

Kicking back in the garden with a drink in hand? Make up a batch of our Berry Pitcher. This party cocktail is made for sharing, packed with fresh berries and citrus for a juicy, crowd-pleasing serve. Just mix it up in a jug, pour over ice, and you’re set.

Honey Whisky Sour

Sweet, sharp, and perfectly balanced, the Honey Whisky Sour swaps sugar syrup for honey for a richer, deeper flavour. This kind of drink works whether the sun’s out or you’re still waiting for it to show up.

Scotch & Soda

Sometimes, simple is best. And a Scotch & Soda is a solid base for any spring moment—light enough for daytime drinks but strong enough to hold its own in the evening. With just Ballantine’s Finest and soda over ice, it’s clean, crisp, and endlessly refreshing.
