Notes
Substitutes:
- Jack Daniel's Whiskey: I've swapped out Jack for other types of bourbon or even dark rum. The flavor profile changes, but it's a fun experiment. If you're looking for something smokier, try Scotch whisky.
- Coca-Cola: Pepsi or RC Cola can be used if you're out of Coke. Some even prefer the taste of these alternatives.
Making a Pitcher of Jack and Coke:
- Scale: For a pitcher that serves 8, you'd need 12 oz of Jack Daniel's Whiskey and 32 oz of Coca-Cola.
- Mix: In a large pitcher, combine the whiskey and cola. Stir well.
- Serve: Pour the mixture into ice-filled Highball glasses, garnish with a lemon or lime wedge, and serve immediately.
Making it Non-Alcoholic:
- Jack Daniel's Substitute: Opt for a non-alcoholic whiskey alternative; several brands have been popping up lately.
- Coca-Cola: Simply use regular Coca-Cola, or if you'd like a non-caffeinated version, look for caffeine-free Coca-Cola.
- Proceed As Usual: Use these non-alcoholic substitutes instead of the regular ingredients and follow the original steps.
