Whiskey Fizz

Bright, Bubbly, and Built for Summer

We love using Texas whiskey in simple cocktails like the Whiskey Fizz—especially grain to glass options from distilleries you can meet at the Texas Whiskey Festival.

Looking for a cocktail that hits the sweet spot between refreshing and bold? The Whiskey Fizz is your new go-to. It’s a citrusy twist on the classic whiskey soda, dressed up with lemon juice and just enough sweetness to make it dangerously easy to sip.

Hot Texas day? This drink is the breeze.

Ingredients

• 0.5 oz simple syrup

• 1 oz fresh lemon juice

• 2.25 oz Texas whiskey (go bold or go home)

• 3 oz club soda or sparkling water

How to Make It

Shake the simple syrup, lemon juice, and whiskey with ice until well chilled. Strain into a glass filled with fresh ice. Top with club soda, give it a quick stir, and enjoy the sparkle.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between a whiskey fizz and a whiskey soda?
A whiskey soda is just whiskey and sparkling water. A whiskey fizz adds lemon juice and simple syrup for a brighter, more flavorful drink.

Can I use any whiskey in a fizz?
You can—but bold whiskeys like those made in Texas add depth. We love using Ironroot, Garrison Brothers, or Still Austin in this drink.

Is the Whiskey Fizz good for summer?
Absolutely. It’s light, citrusy, and refreshing—perfect for warm weather or backyard gatherings.
