Is whiskey good with water or soda?

Whiskey can be enjoyed with water or soda, depending on personal preference.

Whiskey with water: Adding water to whiskey helps to release its aromas and flavors, making it easier to appreciate the complexity of the spirit. When adding water to whiskey, it is generally recommended to start with a small amount and add more as desired. Some enthusiasts prefer a 1:1 ratio of whiskey to water, while others may prefer a smaller amount of water. The ideal dilution ratio will vary depending on the whiskey and personal taste.

Whiskey with water is sometimes called a "waterback" or simply "on the rocks".

Whiskey with soda: Soda, such as club soda or ginger ale, can be mixed with whiskey to create a refreshing and bubbly drink. Some popular whiskey and soda combinations include:

- Whiskey and ginger ale (also known as a "Buck")

- Whiskey and club soda (also known as a "highball")

- Whiskey and cola (also known as a "Cuba Libre")
