MAKER'S® &
COLA FLOAT
Cool, fizzy and with a bit of attitude, the Maker's & Cola Float is a summer treat that always hits the spot.
ABOUT THIS RECIPE
Legend has it that the Ice Cream Float was invented on a hot Philadelphia day by a soda vendor who had run out of ice. To cool his drinks, Robert McCay Green tried ice cream and created a sensation. In ours the dark chocolate notes of Maker's play nicely with ice cream and cola.

- SMOOTH FINISH
This one changed the way we think of bourbon, all because one man changed the way he thought about making it. Bill Samuels, Sr., simply wanted a whisky he would enjoy drinking. Never bitter or sharp, Maker's Mark is made with soft red winter wheat, instead of the usual rye, for a one-of-a-kind, full-flavored bourbon. To ensure consistency, we rotate every barrel by hand and age our bourbon to taste, not time. Each and every bottle of Maker's is still hand-dipped in our signature red wax at our distillery in Loretto, KY., just like Bill, Sr. would have wanted.
