A drink everyone will love. Berry Beer is our ultimate crowd pleaser. Whisky? Tick. Beer? Tick. Berries? Tick. Shake it, crush it, muddle it and serve with plenty of ice. For a Valentine’s Day celebration that’s in serious good spirits.

Passion Fruit Sour

Valentine’s Day is all about passion. For love, for friendship, for the things that make you, you. And we can’t think of a better drink for the passionate ones than the Passion Fruit Sour. This exotic, tangy take on the OG Whisky Sour uses our tropical fruit spirit drink and passion fruit puree to add extra fruitiness.

Whisky and Ginger Ale

Mix up a smooth, sweet and slightly spicy drink to accompany your Valentine’s night. The Whisky and Ginger Ale is a classic pairing. You really can’t go wrong. Make it the simple way with Ballantine’s Finest or add your own twist with ingredients like lime, honey and cinnamon.

Old Fashioned

There’s nothing wrong with traditions. And the Old Fashioned is a prime example. This classic whisky cocktail has a long history and an even longer list of variations (try our Apple Cider Old Fashioned for a sweet, fruity mix). Make it the Ballantine’s Way with our American Barrel whisky, brown cane sugar and orange bitters.

Old Fashioned

Our favourite way to enjoy an Old Fashioned is with Ballantine’s 7 Bourbon Barrel Finish, with a couple of dashes of orange bitters to complement the sweet notes of the whisky.
