What is a John Collins cocktail?

A John Collins cocktail is a classic highball drink that originated in the 19th century. It is a refreshing and citrusy cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. Traditionally, it is made with gin, lemon juice, sugar, and soda water. However, we are going to put a twist on this classic by using Starward Two-Fold Whisky.

Why Starward Two-Fold Whisky?

Starward Two-Fold Whisky is a unique Australian whisky that brings a rich and smooth flavour profile to the John Collins cocktail. It is a blend of malted barley and wheat, aged in Australian red wine barrels, which gives it a distinct character. The fruity and spicy notes of the whisky complement the citrus flavours of the cocktail, creating a delightful combination.
