FOR THE NON-WHISKY DRINKER Highballs are a great way to introduce those who don’t typically drink Scotch whisky. Johnnie & Peach is an easy-to- make cocktail, with the sweet notes creating the perfect fruity serve.

Simply take 50ml Johnnie Walker Black Label and pour 150ml sparkling peach iced tea over ice. Stir and finish with a peach fan and thyme sprig.

FOR THE GIN LOVER For those who normally opt for lighter botanical gin cocktails, Johnnie & Elderflower is a great alternative. Pairing Johnnie Walker Black Label with a touch of elderflower cordial dials up the floral notes of the Scotch whisky, creating a perfectly balanced, smooth and refreshing drink.

Take 50ml Johnnie Walker Black Label add 20ml elderflower cordial and top with soda. Finish with fresh elderflower and a sprig of lavender.

FOR THE SPICE LOVER Whisky and ginger is a classic combination. Bringing out the spicier notes of Johnnie Walker Black Label, a Johnnie & Ginger combines the gentle heat of ginger with star anise to complement the whisky.
