How to make a Jack's Vanilla Coke

To make a Jack's Vanilla Coke, stir with ice and strain into a highball glass: 2 oz tennessee whiskey, ¼ oz vanilla extract and 11 oz coca-cola.

You'll need

1 drink

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pour Tennessee whiskey and vanilla extract into a mixing glass (any sturdy glass works).

  2. 2

    Fill it with ice.

  3. 3

    Stir for 20-30 seconds, until the outside is cold to the touch.

  4. 4

    Strain into a highball glass filled with fresh ice cubes.

  5. 5

    Top with Coca-Cola.

  6. 6

    Give it one gentle stir.

Why stir? Tennessee whiskey is clear, so a gentle stir over ice chills and dilutes it without clouding the drink.
