Rye Whiskey

Manhattan

This Manhattan gets its bright color and sweet pizazz from a little bit of maraschino cherry juice.

Fanciulli

The Fanciulli cocktail is a variation on the Perfect Manhattan—bourbon or rye, and a split of sweet and dry vermouth—that replaces the dry vermouth with Fernet-Branca.

Blinker

Keep your coupes chilled and ready for this simple 3-ingredient rye whiskey cocktail.

Old-Fashioned

The best old-fashioned recipe is the one you love. Made with bourbon or rye, this simple stirred drink is destined to become your new go-to.

Sazeraquiri

A blend of two icons, the Sazeraquiri is greater than the sum of its parts.

Sazerac

While there’s no wrong way to toast New Orleans, the Sazerac, a boozy combination of bitters, anise liqueur, and a whole lot of whiskey seems awfully right.

Vieux Carré

Named for the French Quarter of New Orleans, this classic cocktail is complex and boozy. It’s made with rye whiskey, cognac, sweet vermouth, and Bénédictine, an herbal liqueur that's sweetened with a touch of honey.

Horsefeather

This signature Kansas City cocktail is the Moscow mule’s spicier, boozier Midwestern cousin. 

Flannel Factor

Like a well-worn shirt, this rum, rye, and coffee cocktail has the right balance of moody and vibrant.

À La Louisiane

Hailing from the historic New Orleans restaurant La Louisiane, this spiritous cocktail is a less-vaunted member of the Southern cocktail canon.

Make a Better Manhattan—and Then Make Its Neighbors

This rye cocktail is a classic for a reason. But that doesn’t mean you have to make it the same way every time.

Greenpoint

The Greenpoint cocktail is a rye manhattan, made with sweet vermouth and yellow Chartreuse.

Brooklyn

The Brooklyn cocktail is an original riff on the manhattan that sparked many modern variations.

Amethyst Sour

This twist on the whiskey sour adds blueberries—plus a touch of amaro and funky rum.

Whiskey Daisy

A daisy is essentially a sour in which the sweet stuff is a liqueur (instead of just sugar). This whiskey daisy recipe is pretty classic—and totally delicious.

Clarified Pumpkin Spice Latte Milk Punch

This fall whiskey punch has all the flavors of a pumpkin spice latte, but it’s completely transparent.

Bizzy Izzy Highball

This cocktail with rye whiskey, pineapple, and sherry sits right at home with the way we drink now, but it dates back to 1917.

Manhattan

The Manhattan is a classic cocktail made with whiskey and sweet vermouth.

Red Hook

The Manhattan/Brooklyn cocktail riff that birthed a dozen others, Vincenzo Errico’s Red Hook was first served at the original Milk & Honey, the influential bar in New York.
