Maple Old Fashioned
Maple syrup gives the ultimate classic American whisky cocktail a rich sweetness and depth for those looking to mix things up. This drink is a direct descendant of the Old Fashioned, which early on was considered a morning drink, originally referred to as a “whisky cocktail".

Cask Strength Boulevardier
Putting our stamp on a riff of another classic, the Negroni, we replace gin with Maker's Mark Cask Strength, delivering intriguing depth and warmth. Said to have been born at the legendary Harry’s New York Bar in Paris in the 1920s, the cocktail is named after Erskine Gwynne's French version of The New Yorker magazine called Le Boulevardier. And of course, Cask Strength opens a new chapter for this classic.

Manhattan
Elevate the drier, spicier profile of the cocktail with the toasty, complex, and vanilla and caramel sweetness of Maker’s 46. This simple yet flavorful cocktail is said to have first been served at the Manhattan Club. Like many stories involving whisky, its history is a bit cloudy, but one thing is clear: the Manhattanite who first concocted this cocktail created a classic with true staying power.
