8 Best Mixers for Jack Daniels Honey

1. Dr. Pepper

Dr. Pepper is a beloved American soda that is great to mix with Jack Daniels. This sweet soda has some spicy notes, which compliments the whiskey.

As a rule of thumb, use the 2:1 ratio of Dr. Pepper to this Tennessee whiskey.

2. Milk

If you want a comforting drink after a long day, use a 1:4 ratio of the Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey to 4 parts of gently warmed milk.

This refreshment will help you relax and is also good for chilly winter nights.

The honey whiskey pairs well with milk, making it a soothing and delicious nightcap. The chilled version of this beverage will slightly dilute the alcohol into 8 percent ABV.

3. Ginger Beer

A Moscow mule is an American cocktail made in Los Angeles before the Cold War froze up [1].

It is composed of vodka and ginger beer. Don’t confuse it with ginger ale.

The whiskey can be used in place of vodka for a southern twist. You can also add in freshly squeezed lime juice. Jazz it up with a lime wedge.
