Served on ice in a rocks glass

Bourbon is incredibly mixable with drinks such as cola and ginger ale.
Creating a simple mixed drink makes bourbon highly drinkable. Both ginger ale and cola have been longtime favorites for their complimentary flavors. Other favorites include soda water and lemon-lime soda.
