Whiskey Cocktail - The Whiskey Roundup

Whiskey is so incredibly versatile, especially when it comes to cocktails. The flavors you can pull off with whiskey are limitless. Unlike some other liquors, where the cocktail flavor comes from whatever else you are putting the cocktail, whiskey has an identity all its own and makes the cocktail. The other ingredients in the cocktail then compliment the whiskey and make a whole cocktail experience. Give me a Manhattan or on Old Fashioned any day of the week over a vodka and tonic with a lime. 

So this week on the Whiskey Roundup, as you may have guessed, we are exploring all things Whiskey Cocktail!

I don't typically go for fruity cocktails, but I do like a few of them. In this case, the bourbon is main player and is complimented by the fruit and kiwi juice. I'm intrigued by the sparking apple cider element of it too!

Kiwi go again! We're back with another fruity, yet boozy summer cocktail for you to try. The first cocktail in August is the Bourbon Kiwi Apple Shimmer.✨ #clevelandwhiskey #cocktail #bourboncocktail #whiskeycocktail https://t.co/yZIfiFx0qO

I'm from Texas, and in Texas, we're all about anything that has anything Texas on it. Like this cocktail. Forget the other types of mules and try out the Texas Mule!

I'm going to take back what I said about fruity cocktails, because now that I've found this, I'm not sure that there' any turning back. I love strawberry lemonade. Add some bourbon and you have a good thing going.  

A whiskey drink that tastes like strawberry lemonade.

2.25 oz whiskey
.75 oz simple syrup
.5 oz lemon juice
1 strawberry

Combine ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake well to muddle the strawberry. Strain into a glass with ice. #whiskeycocktailhttps://t.co/HqeKIn8b54 pic.twitter.com/Eq1xXaWG77

Bourbon and ginger beer is always a great combination. Now add in a chili? I just might have to try! 

The sun? Shining. The meat? Grilled. The barbecue? Lit. There's only one thing to quench your thirst - an Irish Squealer. Recipe here: https://t.co/lGLVVPLYuj #bbqdrinks #whiskeycocktail #flamingpig #irishwhiskey #bbqcocktails #thirstquencher pic.twitter.com/jTb9My47zc
