What is a Whiskey and Cream Soda?

A whiskey and cream soda is a simple two ingredient cocktail that has a rich, creamy taste. It has notes of caramel from the whiskey and a strong flavor of vanilla from the cream soda.

Whiskey actually comes in multiple varieties as well as some different flavors. Some of the types of whiskey you can find are Tennessee whiskey, Kentucky whiskey, Irish whiskey and Canadian whiskey.

The main differences and these whiskeys are the type of grain used, the type of barrel used and the amount of time they are aged. These differences will result in slightly different flavor profiles for each whiskey.

• Fireball (a cinnamon flavored whiskey)

When to Make it

This drink mixes up so quickly that it really suits just about any occasion you can think of. However, with its sweet caramel vanilla flavor some of the top occasions you might use it for are:

• Anniversaries
• Birthdays
• Summertime get togethers like pool parties or barbecues
• Late afternoon summer sipping

How to make this drink:

You should be able to whip this drink up in 2 minutes or less. You only need two ingredients and a few steps.

Equipment:

• highball glass
• jigger
• bar spoon

Ingredients:

• 2 oz Whiskey (Jamesons or Crown Royal are favorites, but any will work)
• 4 oz Cream Soda
• Ice
• (optional garnish) cherries

Instructions:

Step one

As you get started you want to make sure you have all of your equipment and ingredients together. Get your jigger, bar spoon, highball glass, whiskey and cream soda ready to go.

Step two

Make sure that you have filled your glass with ice. It should be filled almost the top.

If you want to add a cherry garnish: Stick three cherries onto a cocktail pick and put that in the side of your glass.

Step three

Next you can add your whiskey. Do this by measuring out 2 oz with your jigger. And then tossing the whiskey into your glass over the ice.

Step four

Now you can add your cream soda. Do this by measuring out 4 oz with your jigger. And then toss the cream soda into your glass with your ice and whiskey.

Pro tip: you don’t have to be exact when measuring the cream soda. In fact, if you just want to top the glass off instead of measuring out the cream soda you can do that. The more cream soda you add the lighter the taste of the whiskey will be.

Step Five

Lastly, you want to make sure everything is stirred together. Do this by using your bar spoon, putting it in your glass and giving everything a couple stirs.

Since you are mixing soda you want to make sure you do the stirring gently to make sure you don’t get the soda fizzing too much.

Your drink is ready. You can sit back and take a sip!
