Bourbon cocktail recipes

A playful twist on a childhood classic, the Whisky Cherry Snow Cone brings grown-up flavor to shaved ice. Maker’s Mark bourbon blends beautifully with cherry, lemon and a dash of bitters (because, balance) to create a cocktail that’s equal parts refreshing and nostalgic. Best enjoyed with a spoon, a straw, and a little sunshine.

Maple syrup gives the ultimate classic 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".

With pronounced sugar and mint notes, the Mint Julep is one of our favorite bourbon cocktails and a natural match for warmer weather, horse races and good company. The mint julep became the official drink of the Kentucky Derby in 1938 but was actually invented in Virginia. This Southern favorite nears perfection when bourbon, particularly Maker's Mark, is used as the spirit of choice.

Bright and balanced with just a kiss of bitterness from the Amaro and Aperol® liqueurs, this elegant riff on the whisky sour sails to delicious, new heights. This American whisky cocktail may get its name from its remarkable balance – like a paper airplane that has been folded just right. The slightly bitter, lower-proof Aperol® liqueur brightens things up, bringing touches of citrus and the signature Maker's caramel notes forward.

The Rosemary Maple Sour brings a sweet sprig of innovation to a cocktail classic. The delicious bounty of the outdoors meets the one-of-a-kind Maker’s Mark. Bursting with flavor, this sour is rounded out with fresh rosemary and maple syrup.

A bit like a “cold toddy,” the Penicillin cocktail brings together the comforting flavors of lemon and honey, a touch of smoke from scotch, a zing of ginger and, of course, Maker’s Mark. A tale of two whiskies, the Penicillin cocktail opens with aromas of smoke and peat and then gives way to a balanced sweetness and a pop of spice. Maker’s, Scotch, ginger, honey and lemon recall the flavors of warm drinks, but in this case, are best served on the rocks.

The elevated flavor and higher proof of Maker's Mark 46 brings a new level of sophistication to this elegant classic. This simple yet flavorful whisky cocktail enhanced with elevated holiday ingredients is the perfect balance of classic cocktail culture and winter warmers.

Layered with sweet and tart flavors, the Spiced Apple Spritz combines Maker’s Mark Classic with apple cider, sparkling wine, and a special blend of spices for a unique demerara syrup. With a splash of fresh lemon juice and apple slice for garnish, this whisky cocktail will be the belle of the fall.

The Spiced Pumpkin Old Fashioned combines the best flavors of the Fall for a decadent seasonal American whisky cocktail.

An elegant twist on a sophisticated classic makes the French Oaked 75 an instant favorite. Maker’s Mark 46 pairs with chilled champagne, simple syrup, and a touch of lemon juice for a delightful cocktail with an array of flavor.

Apple Butter transforms the classic Old Fashioned into a tasty treat meant to be sipped and savored. Maker’s Mark Cask Strength, angostura bitters, and brown simple syrup set the stage for apple butter to shine through. Garnish with an orange peel for a sweet and aromatic delight. 

A taste of the season emerges through the Spiced Cranberry Sidecar. Maker’s Mark 46 fuses with orange liqueur, fresh lemon juice, and a touch of cranberry marmalade. With a garnish of orange peel, this whisky cocktail becomes both fragrant and artesional.
