A classic American cocktail made with Jack Daniel's and cola. The sweet aroma of the whisky and the refreshing fizz of cola are a perfect match.

This drink begins its story even before it is poured into the glass

"Isn't a Jack and Coke something the youth drink?" Please, do not think that way. Have you already forgotten that sensation of knocking back that Coke while sweating under a boundless blue sky in your youth?

Just because you are at a bar, there is no need to strain yourself and drink stylishly. Even as mature adults, it is completely fine to occasionally have an irresistible craving for Coke. Here at "bar83rd", we believe that how one enjoys whiskey can be whatever suits the individual. Coca-Cola is a splendid mixer, and the Jack and Coke is undeniably one of the most beloved "whiskey-based cocktails" in the world.

Residing quietly and powerfully alongside it is "Jack Daniel's," the world's most famous whiskey of which Tennessee is proud. In our bar's Jack and Coke, we have packed an "extreme commitment to detail" that can never be reached when drinking at home. Long before you open the door, the preparation to weave a moment of supreme bliss has already begun.

Extreme temperature control and our meticulous "divine ratio"

To create this ultimate drink, our bar first brings all ingredients to their "appropriate temperatures."

・Jack Daniel's: Thoroughly chilled in a minus-23-degree Celsius freezer until it develops a syrupy consistency.
・Bottled Coke: Calmed in a 3-degree Celsius refrigerator so the carbonation is contained.
・Glass: Kept freezing cold in the freezer right up until it is poured.
・Ice: Large cubes that melt slowly.

The Coke to pair with it must absolutely be "Coca-Cola." Through a traditional manufacturing method called "charcoal mellowing," in which Jack Daniel's is filtered drop by drop through sugar maple charcoal, it possesses a unique smoothness and sweetness reminiscent of vanilla and caramel. To embrace this characteristic sweetness, Coca-Cola—with its more powerful and robust sweetness—is truly the best partner. We will have to excuse Pepsi-Cola.

Moreover, our single shot is a generous 45ml. To that, we add "half and just a little bit more" of a bottled Coke. Rather than a typical 1:3 or 1:4 ratio, what bar83rd has arrived at is "1:2.5." It is the golden ratio for adults, allowing you to taste the aroma and power of Jack Daniel's—which never loses out to the sweetness of Coke—in a direct and perfect harmony.

Managing the carbonation just for you, in a hideaway in Bashamichi, Yokohama

Our final touch is "managing the carbonation." The bartender adjusts this on the spot by observing how the customer appears upon arrival.

If you have just arrived at our bar a little out of breath, we preserve the carbonation as much as possible for a sharp throat-feel that pierces the throat. If you have progressed in your drinking and a somewhat leisurely time has begun to flow, we purposely "kill" the carbonation just a bit to gently bring out the whiskey's aroma even more.

Precisely because we are a small establishment, we can fully grasp the condition of each and every customer and prepare the finest drink. This is the greatest reason we cherish our style of being a "membership-privilege system."

In our completely smoke-free interior that does not interfere with the aroma of the alcohol, it is fine to quietly let your throat swallow a drink by yourself. Or, on the rooftop terrace with a panoramic view of the Minato Mirai night view, it is fine to drink it all down while chatting with someone special about memories of that summer. To be completely honest, our true desire is for you to gulp it down all at once before the ice begins to melt.

The night of Bashamichi, Yokohama. Even before you arrive, we are quietly preparing at minus 23 degrees Celsius, waiting for you.
