Updated March 2026.
There is no TTB class called “Coke whiskey,” and no official 10-bottle ranking. Cola does not change the pour math. A 1.5-ounce 40% whiskey is one NIAAA standard drink whether the mixer is Coke, ginger ale, or nothing. Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 is 80 proof / 40% on Brown-Forman US product-info sheets. Bourbon and rye at 90 or 100 proof scale up. This is not a 2022 tasting list.
The IBA Cuba Libre is rum, not whiskey. Related: alcohol with Coke, Jack Daniel’s, whiskey mixers.
What the mixer does not change
| Pour | Labeled ABV | 1.5 oz drinks |
|---|---|---|
| Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 (US) | 40% | 1.00 |
| Typical 80-proof bourbon or rye | 40% | 1.00 |
| 90-proof house pour | 45% | 1.13 |
| 100-proof / bonded | 50% | 1.25 |
| Captain Morgan Original Spiced | 35% — rum, not whiskey | 0.88 |
A 750 mL 40% bottle is about 17 drinks. Four 80-proof whiskey-and-Cokes are four drinks. Sugar is in the cola, not a TTB whiskey calorie. NIAAA binge pattern is a health line, not a target. Pour math: whiskey drinks.
