Whiskey and coke in glasses - Victoriya89/Getty ImagesCombining whiskey and Coke undeniably makes for one great cocktail — in fact, some people even prefer it over the more common rum and Coke. Plus, using vanilla whiskey — instead of regular whiskey mixed with Coca-Cola Vanilla — guarantees that the vanilla is perfectly blended into the whiskey, making for a smoother drinking experience. First of all, sticking with the Coke combination, you could swap out the classic Coke for Coca-Cola Cherry — cherry and vanilla is already a classic combo, which is only enriched by the flavor of whiskey. Additionally, you can swap out the bourbon for vanilla whiskey in Tasting Table's recipe for summertime peach whiskey smash cocktail, which will turn this semi-sweet cocktail into a treat that is almost dessert-like. While you're at it concocting more complex drinks, you may as well try vanilla whiskey in the most well-known whiskey cocktail out there: The whiskey sour — the sweet vanilla will bring a complexity to the natural tanginess of the classic drink.
