Bourbon and Rye Whiskey Cocktails

The Golden Hour is that magical time just before sunset, with beautiful soft lighting that presents the perfect opportunity to reflect on the day. This simple, three-ingredient cocktail represents the balance, elegance, and quiet joy that its namesake also provides.

A Kentucky cocktail with French ancestry. Our twist on the classic uses Aperol® Aperitif, a lower ratio of base spirit, and highlights the lighter, spicier notes of our signature bourbon.

The Manhattan is an essential cocktail in a mixologist's arsenal. Our high-rye bourbon asserts itself against the sweet vermouth for a satisfying sip

The classic Mint Julep is a cooling summertime favorite and a time-honored fixture of Kentucky culture. For enhanced flavor, use fresh mint leaves!

The Fool's Gold recipe is a deceptively light bourbon cocktail, featuring a refreshing combination of bourbon, lemon juice, and limoncello liqueur.

A Kentucky inspired, Prohibition-era classic. Swap cognac for Basil Hayden® Bourbon and add orange liqueur and lemon juice for a tart, yet sweet finish.

A modern cocktail with French ancestry, our Dark Rye variation of the Boulevardier adds a sweeter profile while maintaining its assured sophistication.

Our Whiskey Smash cocktail is an intensely bright, shaken variation of the classic Mint Julep with muddled lemons. To put it simply: citrus, mint, and bourbon.

Our homage to an all-time great, this Whiskey Sour recipe encapsulates the spirit of the tangy citrus original with our bourbon's signature spicy finish.

Our Bourbon Bramble cocktail is a sweet mixture of ripe blackberries, freshly squeezed lemon juice, blackberry liqueur, our trademark Basil Hayden® Bourbon and basil garnish.

The dark fruit notes from the port in Basil Hayden® Dark Rye add depth and a bit of sweetness to this classic Manhattan recipe, while the rye whiskey maintains the spice notes that define the quintessential Manhattan.
