Ingredients for Japanese Whisky

Method

Directions for Preparing Japanese Whisky

  1. 1

    Chill the Glass

    If desired, chill your whisky glass by placing it in the freezer for a few minutes or filling it with ice water while you prepare the drink.

  2. 2

    Add Ice

    Place 3 ice cubes in the chilled whisky glass.

  3. 3

    Pour the Whisky

    Measure 2 oz of Japanese whisky and pour it over the ice cubes in the glass.

  4. 4

    Add Water

    Pour in 1 oz of spring water to the glass. This step is optional but can help to open up the flavors.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Twist a piece of lemon peel over the drink to release its oils, then drop it into the glass as a garnish.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Enjoy your Japanese whisky neat or with a splash of water as preferred.
