The sun dips below the horizon, casting long shadows across weathered wood and well-worn leather. Firelight dances against the gathering dusk as the mountains fade to silhouette. Your work is done, and now it’s time to pour something worth savoring. These cowboy cocktails are simple whisky drinks that capture the spirit of the West, where every glass of Pendleton® Whisky tells a story of craftsmanship, character, and what it means to truly earn your pour.
Pendleton® Whisky honors Western tradition through craftsmanship and character. Born from the spirit of the legendary Pendleton Round-Up, each expression captures the hardworking values of cowboys and cowgirls who define the West.

Did You Know? The Pendleton Round-Up has been a cornerstone of the American West since 1910. This legendary rodeo showcases the grit, skill, and camaraderie of cowboys and cowgirls—values that inspired Pendleton® Whisky and continue to define every bottle we craft.
Ready to learn how to make whisky cocktails? Start with Pendleton® Whisky and a few simple ingredients—citrus, fresh mint, coconut cream—for refreshing, flavorful drinks. Classic recipes like The Original Cowboy, Cowboy Gold Rush, and Rodeo Julep bring the spirit of the West to your glass.
Mix whisky at home with confidence by mastering a few essentials. When mixing at home, mastering the basics, from choosing the right glass to balancing sweetness and strength can elevate your whisky cocktails; a beginner’s guide to whisky cocktails outlines helpful foundational techniques for crafting balanced drinks. Start with quality ice. Large cubes melt slowly, chilling your drink without diluting the whisky. The Pendleton® Whisky Ice Cube Tray stamps each cube with our iconic logo, adding a signature touch to your drinks. When mixing, balance sweetness and strength to your taste, but never overpower the Pendleton® Whisky itself. Match your drink to the right glass: rocks glasses for spirit-forward serves, highball glasses for tall, refreshing drinks.
Above all, don’t be afraid to make these whisky cocktail recipes your own. The cowboy spirit has always been about independence and personal style, whether you’re on the range or behind the bar.
Every pour tells a story. Every bottle carries a legacy. Choose your Pendleton® Whisky expression based on the cocktail you’re crafting—whether you’re after bright and versatile, bold and spiced, or rich and full-bodied.
Smooth, versatile, and approachable. Vanilla, honey, and butterscotch lead with a whisper of cinnamon, while fall fruit flavors round out a medium-bodied, satisfying finish. Perfect for simple whisky drinks or western cocktails like The Original Cowboy or Cowboy Colada.
Rich maple and toasted oak on the nose give way to caramel, vanilla, and rye spice. A lingering finish with rye spice adds depth, making it ideal for full-bodied cocktails like the Cowboy Gold Rush.
Spicy and refined, with nutmeg, cloves, and hints of dried pineapple. Palate notes of apples, dried cherries, and nuts close with tart cherry and a medium-dry finish. It is a natural fit for cocktails like the Rodeo Julep where spice shines.
Bold and fruit-forward from American brandy barrel aging. Musky leather, cinnamon, coffee cake, caramelized banana, and candied figs lead to a full-bodied finish with toasted nuts and lingering spices. Perfect for after-dinner pours or a Midnight Manhattan.
Your next pour starts now. Whether this is your first cowboy cocktail or you’re refining a signature recipe, raise a glass to good company, honest work, and the whisky that makes it all worth celebrating. You earned it.
