Whisky Cocktails Made for Summer

From iced classics to creative twists, whisky has never been cooler. Discover a world of summer-ready serves right here.

Cool cocktails. Hot days. Sorted.

Whisky isn’t just for sipping by the fire. This summer, we’re making the case for swapping your G&T or spritz for something bolder, cooler, and a whole lot more delicious: whisky.

Across July, we’re spotlighting four brands: Johnnie Walker, Deanston, Monkey Shoulder, and Ardray. Each with new whisky cocktail recipes every week.

These aren’t just highballs and Old Fashioneds (though we love those too). We’ve pushed for fresh, original creations, with unexpected twists, tropical flavours, and unbeatable simplicity. You’ll find cocktail content across our emails and socials, plus inspiration right here on this page.

Tasting notes

Nose

An elegant, stylish nose of marmalade, Crema Catalana (apologies, but it really is there), cocoa and malt. Plenty of vanilla and a sprinkling of winter spice (nutmeg, cloves and cinnamon) alongside a mouth-watering hint of aniseed.

Palate

Very malty, creamy delivery with a suggestion of berry fruit. Juicy toasted barley, cloves and butterscotch. Manuka honey, hot-buttered-toast and dried apricot develop.

Finish

Medium length, spicy oak and a hint of peppermint on the tail.
