Whiskey cocktails - the tastiest drinks with whiskey

With a whiskey you can prepare many different cocktails. In this article, we present a few delicious recipes for whiskey drinks.

Whiskey - cocktail recipes for the alcoholic beverage

Basically, you can use any whiskey for a cocktail. However, since whiskeys have very different tastes, you should proceed here according to your preferences. A really good single malt would be a shame for a mixed drink.

• Manhattan: The Manhattan is certainly the classic among whiskey cocktails. Preparation is not difficult if you have the right ingredients on hand. Add three or four ice cubes to a glass and 6 cl of bourbon whiskey. In a Manhattan there are also 3 cl of white wormwood and two sprinkles of Angostura Bitter or Bitter Orange. Mix the ingredients and garnish the cocktail with a cocktail cherry.
• Whiskey Sour: The Whiskey Sour is also a popular whiskey cocktail. In the shaker, shake 6 cl bourbon, 2.5 liters of lemon juice and 1.5 cl sugar syrup with two to three ice cubes. Put two or three ice cubes in a glass and pour the cocktail over a sieve. The Whiskey Sour is garnished with a piece of lemon.
• Dirty old bastard: Islay Whiskey is best suited for this whiskey cocktail. Put 6 cl in a whiskey cocktail glass and add a dash of sweet and hot chilli sauce, 2 cl of Lapsang Souchong syrup and a dash of Chocolate Bitters. Stir the ingredients too long until the chilli sauce has completely dissolved. Finally, add plenty of ice cubes and stir again.
• Tip: Remember, the better or higher quality the ingredients of the cocktail, the better the mix will taste.
