Kentucky Mule
Sweet and crisp with just the right bite, this refreshing take on the Moscow Mule uses Maker's Mark® for added depth. Perfect for those warmer days, but great any time of year. The Kentucky Mule is a pairing as easy to drink as it is to make. The spice of ginger beer compliments the caramel notes of Maker’s Mark® to make a wholly American cocktail inspired by a vodka classic.

Maker's® & Ginger
As delicious as it is effervescent, even the experienced mixologist will find this easy-to-make classic hard to pass up. The origins of this simple mix trace back to 1890 when a nonalcoholic drink called the Horse's Neck was made with ginger ale, ice and lemon peel. By 1910, bourbon was added to make a Stiff Horse's Neck – later abbreviated back to just Horse's Neck. We still like to simply call it like it is – a Maker's® & Ginger.

Maker’s Sour
The Maker’s Sour is a refined and refreshing blend of sour and sweet. Our Maker’s Sour is inspired by the Whisky Sour, a refreshingly citrus-forward cocktail; 1862’s "The Bartender's Guide" by Jerry Thomas is recognized as one of the first mentions of this classic. This cocktail has had enduring appeal and reaches a new level of refreshing when the sour notes are mixed with Maker’s® sweetness.

Maker’s Mark® Kentucky Straight Bourbon
We go above and beyond to create a warm, inviting whisky that has a softer, sweeter style without the burn and bite. With a signature velvety mouthfeel, and balanced notes of bright cherry, delicate vanilla, caramel and a hint of soft spices, Maker's Mark can be best enjoyed served neat, on the rocks or a classic Whisky Sour.
At our homeplace, Star Hill Farm, the flavor and quality of our whisky is shaped by the very land it comes from.
