      That’s my take away from this. If I ask for a jack and coke or rum and coke, the “and coke” is just as important as the rest. Pepsi isn’t what I want. I would never give the OK to swap out the mixer. I’d rather just drink the liquor straight.

        I’d be fine with Pepsi for rotgut Scotch mixers like Johnnie Walker Red or Dewar’s White I think, it’s just American whiskey is already sweet as hell.

      At risk of being stuck-up: What, and Coca-Cola is not too sweet? Cola is sugar water with a bit of flavour.
