We're going to pretend it's already fall and start drinking our good bourbon. We've got all the classics, some variations, and some new ones that might be hidden.
bourbon/rye
bourbon/rye, sweet vermouth, and bitters
The classic cocktail. It's a little sweet, plenty strong, and works well with a good rye.
bourbon/rye
bourbon/rye, amaro, and bitters
A twist on the Manhattan. Swapping out sweet vermouth for a nice Amaro adds herbal notes.
rye
rye, coffee liqueur, and orange
Swap out boring old vermouth for delicious coffee and orange tastes.
whiskey
whiskey, simple syrup, and bitters
It's a classic for a reason. Sweet, bitters, and alcohol. The basic recipe that spawned a thousand variations.
bourbon
bourbon, lemon juice, simple syrup, and an egg white
Best served straight up with an egg white. A perfect mix of sweet and sour and velvety mouthfeel.
amaretto
amaretto, cask-strength bourbon, lemon juice, simple syrup, and an egg white
The best version of an amaretto sour. Sweet, sour, velvety mouth-feel, and a bourbon kick on the finish.
