ISSA WEEKEND! FOUR EASY BALLANTINE’S COCKTAILS TO MAKE AT HOME

The weekend is here and we have four easy cocktails you can make at home courtesy of one of the best scotch whiskies in the world, Ballantine’s.

Named after Brazil’s city Rio de Janeiro, Ballantine’s Rio is inspired by the Brazilians who love sprite which is one of the key ingredients in the cocktail.

Ballantine’s Tokyo is also inspired by the Japanese people and their obsession with ginger ale which they use in most of their liquor. While Ballantine’s Jaggery Sour and Ballantine’s 254 are Kenyan creations.

Ballantine’s Ambassador Wayne Mutiso says, “Making a cocktail is an expression of life, you have to have balance and always remember to have fun while doing it. There is no correct time to eat the garnish, if you like to eat it at the start of your cocktail or at the end. Have it your way.”

The company has banned plastic straws as a global initiative and uses bio degradable material.
