"A Jack & Coke is balanced, refreshing, easy to make, and always available," says Jack Daniel's U.S. Brand Ambassador Eric "ET" Tecosky. "But show a bartender a drink that needs no fine-tuning, and you'll find someone ready to decon- struct the cocktail and add their personal touch to it—myself included!"
