What we’re drinking this week: Johnnie Walker & Lemonade

Johnnie Walker & Lemonade puts whisky and zesty lemonade in a can, taking the fuss out of mixing your own drinks

Johnnie Walker & Lemonade 6x300ml, R139.99, Woolworths

Whisky in a can? Somewhere, a purist is clutching his crystal tumbler and checking his blood pressure. Johnnie Walker clearly isn’t losing sleep over it. Its Johnnie & Lemonade combines Johnnie Walker Blonde with zesty lemonade for a refreshing, ready-to-drink take on the classic whisky highball.

Why we love it:

The measuring’s already been done for you, so there’s no fussing with mixers or getting the proportions wrong. It’s bright, citrussy and just the thing for a hot summer afternoon. Drink it straight from the can, or get a smidgeon fancy with a tall glass, big ice cubes and a slice of lemon. Add a bowl of salty crisps, some roasted nuts or a plate of spicy nachos and you’re sorted.
