History

Sweetness is balanced by lemon and brut sparkling wine in this fruity cocktail.

Cam Dawson, the longstanding UK Jack Daniel's brand ambassador, created this drink in 2023. It is based on Jack Daniel's Old No. 7 Tennessee Whiskey. Dawson stated, "Created for the McLaren Formula One team x Jack Daniel's partnership which kicked off in 2023. McLaren's team colour is Papaya which is of course why I had to use it in the cocktail. The first version of this drink was Bellini-style but the use of the juice instead of purée creates a much cleaner, fruity yet earthy mix that works wonders with Jack Daniel's! Why the champagne?, Cos it's Formula One, baby!!! The name?!?! That was Zak Brown's (CEO of McLaren racing) fault, when he called it this in a video message. I wanted to called it 'The McLaren Fizz'."
