Whisky Cocktails Made for Summer
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. 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.

Ardray Blended Scotch Whisky
This is a fine blend of malt and grain Scotch whiskies from the Highlands, Lowlands, and Islands, including Bowmore, Laphroaig, Auchentoshan, Ardmore, The Macallan, Glenrothes, and Highland Park. Almost 200 different whiskies were tested by Suntory’s chief blender for Scotch, Calum Fraser, and Suntory’s blending team, to create Ardray.
Method
1. Fill a highball glass with plenty of ice and pour over Ardray. Top with soda water and enjoy.
