Whiskey Roundup - Cocktails

I love cocktails, like this one made with Johnnie Walker. This week, the Whiskey Roundup is all about cocktails! I decided to go a little outside of the whiskey box and include cocktails that aren't technically a whiskey cocktail.


I've been making a lot of Bloody Mary's lately. I typically will use a store bought mix, but I have wanted to try my hand at making my own for a while. This should at least give a jumping of point to get started with making a mix at home.



It's been a while since I had a good whiskey sour. Most sour mixes are crap, so making them at home or getting one at a bar is usually out of the question. Unless the bar takes the time to make their own mix, it's a non-starter. I don't know why I never thought of it being just a few simple ingredients.   
This a different take on the whiskey sour, that honestly sounds amazing. I've always liked raspberry lemonade and adding whiskey to it sounds incredible! This would make a great summer afternoon sipper. 
Sometimes you have to take a simple approach. The whiskey can get lost in a cocktail full of syrups and juices, unless you mix it right. This cocktail is just two simple ingredients.  

Slainte!

Whiskey Roundup 06/16/19 to 06/22/19

Whiskey Roundup

Every Saturday I go through Twitter with #whiskey and roundup my favorite whiskey articles! These
are my favorites for this week!


As a child, I would always take things apart to see if I could put them back together and learn about the way things work. I still enjoy the finer details. So, to learn as much as I can about oak barrels, a key ingredient to whiskey, is fascinating!
I wrote about Roe and Co last week. It's great to see that a new distillery is open for the world to enjoy!

I have to echo the sentiments of the Bourbon Gents here. What's not to love about Woodford Reserve? That reminds me, my bar is missing a bottle of Woodford!

If you're only going to have one, then this is the way to do it! I'd do the same thing, but I'd probably sport a metal tumbler!

Is there anything more beautiful than seeing a well stocked whiskey bar?

Quitting soda does have it's benefits; think about all of the the sugar you could cut from your diet! I saw an article the other day that champagne can help prevent Alzheimer's, so surely there are some health benefits to whiskey too!
