Discover the 6 best drinks to make with whiskey

3. Maple bourbon smash

To make a delicious maple bourbon smash cocktail, you will need pure maple syrup, orange juice, an orange wheel, lemon juice, bitters, bourbon, and seltzer water or club soda. In a glass, mix the syrup, orange juice, lemon juice, and bitters. Add the orange wheel and muddle it slightly while stirring. Then, add the bourbon and stir well. Finally, fill the glass with ice and top it off with seltzer water or club soda.

4. Whiskey sour

To make a classic whiskey sour, you will need whiskey, lemon juice, and simple syrup. If you want it extra smooth, you can add an egg white. Here's how to prepare it: In a shaker, mix the whiskey, lemon juice, and simple syrup. If you are using an egg white, add it now and shake without ice first to make it frothy. Then, add ice and shake again until cold. Pour the mix into a glass with ice. Finally, add a cherry and a lemon wheel on top for a nice touch.

5. Irish coffee

To make an Irish coffee, you'll need hot coffee, Irish whiskey, sugar, and whipped cream. First, brew a cup of hot coffee. In a mug, mix the hot coffee with a shot of Irish whiskey and a teaspoon of sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Then, gently pour whipped cream over the back of a spoon so it floats on top. Enjoy your warm, creamy Irish coffee!

6. Whiskey neat (or on ice)

Making this drink is simple. Get a glass and your favorite whiskey from the shelf. Add ice if you want the drink chilled and a bit diluted, or skip the ice. Pour the whiskey into the glass, and then enjoy your drink.
