Woodford Reserve and Fentimans Curiosity Cola!

Woodford Reserve paired with Fentimans Curiosity Cola is one of those combinations that sounds simple but is genuinely greater than the sum of its parts. Woodford Reserve is a premium small-batch Kentucky straight bourbon — complex, aromatic, and full of character — and Curiosity Cola is a craft botanical cola made with herbal extracts rather than artificial flavourings. Together they make for a bourbon and cola that’s a world away from the usual well-drink version.

Woodford Reserve brings its signature profile of rich dried fruit, vanilla, toasted oak, and warming spice — it’s a bourbon with real complexity at 43.2% ABV. Fentimans Curiosity Cola adds notes of herbal bitterness, subtle ginger warmth, and a drier, more sophisticated sweetness compared to mainstream colas. The carbonation lifts the bourbon’s aromatics beautifully. Build it over ice with a 1:3 ratio of bourbon to cola, add a strip of orange peel, and you have something that feels genuinely special.

This combination is proof that a bourbon and cola doesn’t have to be a budget drink. Using a quality bourbon and a craft mixer elevates the whole experience and showcases the spirit rather than masking it. If you’re looking for an easy, crowd-pleasing serve that still has substance and sophistication, Woodford Reserve and Fentimans Curiosity Cola is the answer. Highly recommended for summer evenings and casual gatherings alike.
