A whisky and tonic is the perfect pairing. This light, bubbly mixer adds a refreshing zing to the whisky’s warming, spiced edge. Creating a smooth, complex and bittersweet drink that’s super simple to make.

How We Make a Whisky Tonic

MAKE YOUR WHISKY TONIC EXTRA BITTER
Get extra tang for your buck with this bittersweet variation. A Whisky Tonic Bitters takes inspiration from another classic recipe, creating a highball version of an Old Fashioned cocktail. Add a few dashes of herbal bitters to the scotch and tonic water, and enhance those aromatic flavours.
The best whisky and tonic to use
You can use any quality whisky and tonic water when it comes to making your drink. Stick to a go-to or try something new. There’s no wrong way. We use Ballantine’s Finest, our award-winning blended scotch that balances subtle sweet flavours with a fresh and floral finish.
