A Match Made in Dixie

Some pairings are so perfect, they become iconic. Bourbon & Coke is one of them—a true Southern staple that’s as timeless as sweet tea and as satisfying as a front-porch breeze. At Left Bank, we don’t overthink it. We pour it tall, we pour it smooth, and we pour it with our bold, signature Left Bank Bourbon for a highball that’s casual, classic, and endlessly drinkable.

The Left Bank Bourbon & Coke

It’s simple, yes—but that doesn’t mean it’s ordinary. When made with quality bourbon and just the right proportions, this humble highball becomes something greater: a tribute to Southern hospitality and effortless cool.

Here’s how we serve ours:

Left Bank Bourbon – The soul of the drink. Full-bodied with notes of vanilla, oak, and spice, it adds richness and depth to every sip.
Coca-Cola Soft Drink – Sweet, effervescent, and iconic in its own right. Its caramel fizz pairs perfectly with the bourbon’s warmth.
Ice Cubes – Generous and crisp, keeping the pour cold and refreshing without watering it down too fast.
Lime Twist – A bright, citrusy garnish that adds a hint of zest and makes the whole experience feel a little more refined.

Why It Works

Bourbon and Coke works because it doesn't try too hard. It lets the flavors do the talking—the sweet, bubbly cola lifting the bourbon’s warmth into something smooth, familiar, and satisfying. It’s a drink that doesn’t need a special occasion, but always makes an occasion feel a little more special.

At Left Bank, we like to think of it as the "denim jacket" of cocktails—reliable, laid-back, and effortlessly cool.

Best Moments for a Bourbon & Coke

Game day, tailgate, or backyard BBQ
Friday nights that start slow and go long
When you want something classic without the fuss
Or any time you want a taste of the South in one sip

Simple. Satisfying. Southern to the last drop. Pour some Left Bank and enjoy a Bourbon & Coke the way it was meant to be—bold bourbon, classic cola, and a whole lot of Southern charm. Because some things never go out of style.
