Maker's Mark Cocktail Party Recipes

The Conservative

Alias - Presbyterian

Recipe

• 1-1/2 parts Maker’s Mark® Bourbon
• 1/2 part club soda
• 1/2 part ginger ale
• Lemon twist

Fill a rocks glass with ice and add Maker’s Mark® Bourbon. Fill with equal parts club soda and ginger ale. Stir and garnish with a lemon twist.

Notes

Originally a nonalcoholic combination of ginger ale and club soda (hence the name, Presbyterian), the Presbyterian is usually served today as a combination of club soda, ginger ale and whisky. Classically simple, a truly heavenly Presbyterian always starts with Maker’s Mark®.

The Incumbent

Alias - Maker’s Mark Manhattan

Recipe

• 1-1/2 parts Maker’s Mark® Bourbon
• 1/2 part sweet vermouth
• 1 teaspoon maraschino cherry juice
• 1 maraschino cherry

Shake all together for 30 seconds. Strain into chilled Manhattan glass. Garnish with a maraschino cherry (served up, no ice).

Notes

Traditionally made with whisky, sweet vermouth and bitters, the Manhattan is also open to variation and is often used by great bartenders as a way to show off their creativity.
