WESTERN STORM

Our riff on the classic, swapping out rum for Pendleton® Whisky 1910 Rye.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

INGREDIENTS (per cocktail):

  • 2 oz Pendleton® Whisky 1910 Rye
  • 4 oz Ginger Beer
  • 4-5 Fresh Blackberries
  • ½ oz Agave Syrup, Honey, or Simple Syrup
  • ½ oz Freshly Squeezed Lime Juice
  • Optional: Use black sugar to rim the glass.

METHOD

  • Add blackberries, syrup, and whisky to the cocktail shaker and muddle well. Set aside.
  • Rim your glass by wetting the rim with lemon or lime juice and dipping it into the black sugar
  • Add ice and ginger beer to the rocks glass
  • Pour blackberry mixture on top
  • Garnish with a blackberry and lime wedge

The drink will appear separated, which makes for a nice presentation. However, the top portion is mostly whisky, so you might want to give it a stir before you sip.

Witches Brew

Cranberry, mint, and fresh berries create a bewitching punch concoction that’s easy to batch for your Halloween party.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

  • Mint Tea (made in advance)
  • Raspberry Syrup (make or buy)
  • Ice
  • Large Pitcher or Punchbowl
  • Citrus Zester

  • 750 ml Pendleton® Whisky Original
  • 500 ml Mint Tea
  • 2500 ml Good Quality Cranberry Juice
  • 6 Limes
