Remsen Cooler

Cocktail Description

The Remsen Cooler transforms a sophisticated whisky into a refreshingly effervescent sipper that's remarkably approachable, even for those who typically shy away from Scotch.

This two-ingredient wonder delivers the smoky, malty backbone of Johnnie Walker Black Label softened by the gentle fizz of club soda, creating a balanced drink with notes of vanilla, dried fruit, and subtle peat smoke. The expressed oils from a whole lemon peel brighten the experience, cutting through the whisky's richness with citrus aromatics. Perfect for warm summer evenings on the patio or as a pre-dinner aperitif, the Remsen Cooler offers a lighter alternative to neat whisky while maintaining its complex character. It's nearly impossible to mess up—simply pour and stir—making it an ideal choice for both novice home bartenders and seasoned professionals. This versatile cocktail pairs beautifully with savory appetizers like aged cheese boards, smoked almonds, or even grilled seafood, as its brightness and subtle smokiness complement rather than overwhelm food flavors.
