• Old Fashioned: Considered the most popular and one of the oldest whiskey cocktails, with roots dating back to the 1800s. It's a simple yet sophisticated blend of whiskey (often bourbon or rye), a sugar cube or simple syrup, bitters, and water, garnished with an orange peel. The name itself reflects the desire for a return to the "old-fashioned" way of making cocktails.
• Manhattan: This classic dates back to the 1870s, believed to have originated at the Manhattan Club in New York City. It combines whiskey (typically rye), sweet vermouth, and a dash of bitters, often garnished with a maraschino cherry.
• Whiskey Sour: Part of the "sour" family of cocktails from the mid-19th century, the Whiskey Sour balances the sweetness of sugar with the tartness of lemon. It's made with whiskey, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and an optional egg white for a frothy texture.
• Mint Julep: An iconic Southern cocktail, especially associated with the Kentucky Derby, the Mint Julep's origins may trace back to the 18th century. It's a refreshing blend of whiskey (often bourbon), fresh mint leaves, simple syrup, and crushed ice.
• Sazerac: A New Orleans classic and the city's official cocktail, the Sazerac emerged in the mid-19th century, initially made with cognac before whiskey (especially rye) became the primary spirit. It features whiskey, simple syrup, Peychaud's bitters, and an absinthe rinse in the glass, garnished with a lemon peel.
• Irish Coffee: Invented in the 1940s in Ireland to warm transatlantic passengers, the Irish Coffee combines hot coffee, Irish whiskey, brown sugar, and a topping of thick, unwhipped cream.
• Hot Toddy: Often attributed to Scotland as a remedy for cold weather, the Hot Toddy is a comforting warm cocktail with whiskey, honey, lemon juice, and hot water, often garnished with a lemon slice and cinnamon stick or cloves.
• Highball: A simple and popular cocktail, the Highball combines whiskey with a mixer like soda water or ginger ale over ice, often with a lemon slice garnish. Its roots date to the 19th century, with the modern form emphasized in the 1950s in Japan.
• Boulevardier: Similar to a Negroni but made with bourbon instead of gin, the Boulevardier was created in the 1920s in Paris. It blends bourbon, Campari, and sweet vermouth, garnished with an orange twist.
• Rusty Nail: Popularized in the 1960s, the Rusty Nail combines Scotch whisky with Drambuie, a honey, spice, and Scotch liqueur, offering a balance of boldness and smoothness.
