Whiskey and Water

The Classic Whiskey and Water

Many who drink whiskey simply like to enjoy it as a shot of whiskey and water. Adding other alcohol to the whiskey taints the drink so that the flavor of the whiskey is tainted. The water will simply thin it out, allowing the whiskey flavors to still be present and help it to go down just a little easier. Whiskey and water go together like many other combos such as tequila and orange juice and rum and coke.
