Jack Daniel's & Coke – The Iconic Bar Call, Now in a Can

Updated → February 2026

Jack Daniel's & Coke brings America's most-ordered whiskey cocktail to a ready-to-drink 355 ml can at 7% ABV. Crisp, balanced, and perfectly mixed every time, this RTD is available now at Bel Pre Beer & Wine in Silver Spring, MD for $17.99 per four-pack.

Introduction

Walking up to any bar in America and ordering a Jack and Coke is one of the most reliable rituals in the drinking world. It is the most-ordered branded cocktail call in the country, and that enduring popularity is precisely what makes the canned version so compelling. Jack Daniel's & Coke is a ready-to-drink canned cocktail that captures the unmistakable taste of the classic combination in a portable 355 ml can.

Unlike mixing at home, where proportions depend on your heavy-handedness with the bottle, this RTD locks in a consistent ratio every time. At 7% ABV, it is strong enough to taste the Tennessee whiskey character but approachable enough for casual sipping. This is not a malt beverage imitating whiskey. It is actual Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey blended with real Coca-Cola, a collaboration between two of the most recognizable brands on the planet. If you are in Silver Spring, Maryland, pick up a four-pack at Bel Pre Beer & Wine for $17.99.

RTD Market Overview

The ready-to-drink cocktail category has evolved from a niche corner of the beverage aisle into one of the fastest-growing segments in the alcohol industry. Spirits-based RTDs have surged as consumers prioritize convenience without sacrificing quality. The appeal is straightforward: bar-quality drinks without the bartender, the tip, or the wait.

Within this landscape, Jack Daniel's & Coke occupies a unique position. Most RTDs are invented from scratch, pairing a spirit with some proprietary mixer. This one replicates a drink with decades of cultural recognition already baked in. When you see the Jack Daniel's label paired with the Coca-Cola logo, you know exactly what you are getting. That built-in trust is a massive advantage in a category where consumers are often skeptical about canned cocktails delivering on their promise. While vodka sodas and tequila seltzers dominated early RTD shelves, whiskey-based entries like this one have expanded the audience considerably.

Style & Flavor Profile

Cracking open a can of Jack Daniel's & Coke delivers exactly what the name promises. The nose is immediately familiar: sweet caramel and vanilla from the Tennessee whiskey meet the signature cola sweetness. On the palate, the whiskey provides a backbone of toasted oak, light banana, and that distinctive charcoal-mellowed smoothness. The Coca-Cola brings its characteristic blend of vanilla, citrus, and caramel sweetness, with enough carbonation to keep the drink lively on your tongue.

The finish is clean, with a gentle whiskey warmth that lingers just long enough to remind you this is a real cocktail. At 7% ABV, it is noticeably stronger than most beer but lighter than mixing your own Jack and Coke with a generous pour. The carbonation level is moderate, less fizzy than a straight Coca-Cola but enough to provide that effervescent mouthfeel that makes the drink genuinely refreshing.

How It's Made

What sets this RTD apart from many competitors is the authenticity of its ingredients. It is made with genuine Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey, the same spirit that goes through the Lincoln County Process of charcoal mellowing before aging in new American white oak barrels. That process, where the fresh distillate drips slowly through ten feet of sugar maple charcoal, gives Jack Daniel's its signature smoothness.

The Coca-Cola component is equally authentic. Rather than using a generic cola syrup, the formulation incorporates real Coca-Cola. The collaboration between Brown-Forman and The Coca-Cola Company took considerable time to develop. Getting the ratio right for a canned format, where the drink needs to taste consistent from the first sip to the last without ice dilution changing the profile, was a significant technical challenge. The final product is canned at 7% ABV in 355 ml slim cans, sold in four-packs.

Food Pairings

The sweet, caramel-forward profile of Jack Daniel's & Coke makes it a natural companion for a wide range of foods. The carbonation acts as a palate cleanser, cutting through richness while the whiskey warmth complements smoky and savory flavors. Barbecue is the most obvious pairing: pulled pork with tangy vinegar sauce, smoked brisket with a peppery bark, or charred ribs glazed with brown sugar all find a willing partner in this RTD.

For lighter fare, consider Nashville hot chicken sliders, where the heat is tempered by the drink's sweetness. Pizza with pepperoni or sausage pairs well too. Simpler snacks like salted pretzels, roasted peanuts, or kettle-cooked potato chips create satisfying contrasts with the sweetness and fizz. For dessert, try it alongside pecan pie or a brownie, where the cola and whiskey combination makes a surprisingly effective pairing.

How to Serve

The beauty of a canned RTD is zero preparation, but a few choices can elevate the experience. Serve the can well-chilled, ideally between 35 and 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Drinking straight from the can is the intended experience for tailgates and cookouts, but pouring into a rocks glass over fresh ice takes it up a notch. The ice provides additional chilling and a slight dilution that opens up the whiskey's softer notes.

Garnishes are optional but can add a nice touch. A lime wedge adds citrus brightness that complements the cola. A maraschino cherry nods to classic cocktail presentation. Some drinkers add a dash of Angostura bitters for more complexity, though purists will argue the drink needs nothing at all.

Creative Mixing Ideas

While Jack Daniel's & Coke is designed to be complete as-is, adventurous drinkers can use it as a base for variations. Add a splash of cherry juice or grenadine for a cherry cola riff. A few dashes of orange bitters create a more sophisticated profile recalling an old fashioned crossed with a cola highball. For a frozen version, blend a can with a cup of ice until slushy for a fantastic summer cooler.

You can also use the RTD as a float base, topping a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an adults-only take on a root beer float. During colder months, warm a can gently on the stovetop with a cinnamon stick and a few cloves for something closer to a hot toddy, with the cola's spice notes amplified by the heating process.

Buying Guide

Jack Daniel's & Coke is sold in four-packs of 355 ml cans. At Bel Pre Beer & Wine, a four-pack is priced at $17.99, which works out to roughly $4.50 per can. Compare that to ordering a Jack and Coke at a bar, where you will typically pay $8 to $14 for a single pour, and the value becomes clear. For a spirits-based RTD using premium ingredients from two iconic brands, this pricing is competitive.

When shopping, check the packaging date if visible. Fresher is always better for optimal carbonation and flavor. As a spirits-based RTD, Jack Daniel's & Coke is subject to different regulations than beer or malt beverages in many states. In Maryland, you can find it at licensed liquor stores like Bel Pre Beer & Wine, which carries the full range of spirits-based RTDs.

Comparisons vs. Similar RTDs

The whiskey-and-cola RTD space has several contenders, but Jack Daniel's & Coke stands apart. Compared to Jim Beam & Cola, the Jack Daniel's version delivers a smoother whiskey profile thanks to the charcoal mellowing process. The Coca-Cola component gives it an edge over competitors using generic cola formulas, since Coke's flavor is universally recognized.

Against Jack Daniel's own lineup, such as the Country Cocktails, the Jack & Coke version occupies the premium tier. The Country Cocktails line uses a malt base rather than actual whiskey, putting them in a different category entirely. Compared to non-whiskey RTDs like High Noon vodka seltzers or Cutwater tequila sodas, Jack Daniel's & Coke offers a richer, more full-bodied experience. It is not trying to be light or low-calorie. It is a genuine cocktail in a can that embraces that identity fully.

Limited Editions & Variety Notes

As of early 2026, the standard Jack Daniel's & Coke remains the core product. Jack Daniel's & Coca-Cola Zero Sugar offers the same combination for those watching sugar intake, maintaining the 7% ABV with a drier, less sweet profile. Beyond the cola variants, Jack Daniel's offers RTDs featuring Tennessee Apple, Tennessee Honey, and Tennessee Fire paired with various mixers.

Seasonal and limited-edition packaging occasionally appears around major holidays and sporting events. The liquid inside remains the same, but collectors may find special-edition cans worth seeking out. Keep an eye on Bel Pre Beer & Wine's inventory for limited releases as they become available.

Occasions & Gifting

A four-pack of Jack Daniel's & Coke makes an excellent casual gift or party contribution. For tailgating, it is practically a requirement. The cans are easy to transport, require no mixing supplies, and are universally crowd-pleasing. Pair it with premium beef jerky, whiskey stones, or a Jack Daniel's branded rocks glass for a simple but thoughtful gift set.

The RTD format is also ideal for venues where glass is prohibited: concert grounds, pool areas, and parks that allow canned beverages. Its portability means you can enjoy a quality cocktail in settings where mixing from scratch would be impractical.

Storage & Shelf Life

Canned cocktails like Jack Daniel's & Coke are designed for shelf stability, but proper storage ensures the best experience. Keep the cans in a cool, dark environment away from direct sunlight. A pantry at room temperature works for long-term storage, while the refrigerator is ideal for near-term consumption.

Avoid places with significant temperature swings, such as garages that heat up in summer and freeze in winter. Extreme cold can compromise the seal, while heat accelerates flavor degradation. Once chilled, keep them cold. An opened can should be consumed promptly, as carbonation dissipates within about an hour.
