There are thousands of variations to one of the most iconic whiskey cocktails the Old-Fashioned. We are not debating which is better than the other or that ours is the best. It is merely another variation on a great cocktail.

The Andalusia Triple Distilled Mojito is delicious modification on the classic cocktail. We are making this in time for St. Patrick’s Day but this is a great summer drink as well. The mojito is a Cuban cocktail that is usually made with rum, sugar or simple syrup, mint, and soda water. And like most cocktails, there are several ways you can make it.

The Rusty Nail is a funny name for a cocktail. This is a drink named after a reddish-yellowish-brown flaky coated metal spike. A name that makes livers shake and would be drinkers run in fear. In reality, it is relatively tame. We share our Real Spirits Rusty Nail to help you put this cocktail into perspective.

The Andalusia Mule is a delightfully fizzy drink. Made with fiery ginger beer, Andalusia Triple Distilled Whiskey, and fresh lime.

Aaron Pollack, the bar manager of The Dawson’s in Chicago created the Smoking Pistol Cocktail. We modified the drink to fit our tastes and call it the Smoking Gun Cocktail.

The godfather cocktail named after the revered trilogy does it justice. Like an offer from Corleone, you won’t refuse this drink. A simple, yet powerful mixture of whiskey and amaretto.The traditional recipe uses equal parts, but we prefer to let the whiskey shine. We adjusted the mixture to 2 to 1 whiskey vs. amaretto.

The affinity cocktail is an old-school style drink with no fruity liqueurs or fancy herbs. Created in the early 1900s after a broadway play, however, the exact performance is unknown.

The autumn ash is a whiskey drink made with Scotch. So we swapped it for one of the many great Texas single malts.

The Arnold Palmer is a classic non-alcoholic drink named after the famous golfer. It is light and refreshing, perfect after a round of golf. Over the years, people have made a vodka version called the John Daly.

As we approach summer, days stretch into the night. Making way for more backyard BBQs, get-togethers (someday) and pool parties. Fresh fruits seem to replace the heavy winter snacks. Even our drink choices shift with the seasons. Its time to break out the summer cocktails. Introducing an original festival cocktail, the strawberry whiskey smash.
