Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Select a highball glass and fill it with ice cubes to chill.

  2. 2

    Measure the Whisky

    Using a jigger, measure out 2 oz of Macallan 12 Year Double Cask Scotch Whisky and pour it over the ice in the glass.

  3. 3

    Add Soda Water

    Pour 4 oz of soda water gently into the glass over the whisky to maintain the carbonation.

  4. 4

    Garnish with Lemon

    Take a slice of lemon and drop it into the glass. Optionally, you can squeeze a bit of the lemon juice into the drink before adding the slice.

  5. 5

    Finish with Lemon Zest

    Sprinkle 1 tsp of lemon zest on top for an aromatic finish.
