πŸ“œ History

Johnnie Walker created this cherry-spiked highball in collaboration with Grammy-nominated recording artist Sabrina Carpenter, drawing inspiration from her song "Go Go Juice." The drink debuted during the 68th Grammy Awards weekend in February 2026, headlining a series of exclusive Los Angeles activations that included an invite-only party with cherry-themed dΓ©cor and a Johnnie Walker branded projection across the city skyline. Carpenter had entered a multi-year partnership with Diageo-owned Johnnie Walker in August 2025 to connect Scotch whisky with contemporary music culture. The resulting highball delivers an approachable sweetness reminiscent of a Shirley Temple, elevated by the smoky vanilla depth of Johnnie Walker Black Label, a 12-year-old blended Scotch.
