two highball cocktails

Ginger Highball

A classic highball drink, the Ginger Highball is a great choice for someone who loves a good kick of ginger. Jim Beam provides the warming smokiness that's complemented by ginger ale and topped off with orange peel for a bright, citrusy note that lingers.

Bourbon Milk Punch

Bourbon Milk Punch

This Bourbon Milk Punch cocktail is a jack of all trades – creamy, warm, chilled, sweet, and inviting. I love cinnamon and milk in drinks because it creates a warmth that compliments the warmth of the whiskey, and when it's chilled, the contrast between that warmth and the actual temperature of the drink is exciting and memorable.

Blueberry Whiskey Lemonade

Blueberry Whiskey Lemonade is a fantastic drink for those who want it all. You'll get smoky, sweet, and tart flavors from the whiskey, lemon, and blueberry, respectively. It's a refreshing drink at any time of the year but almost unbeatable at a summer backyard barbecue – and the reddish-purple color looks great too!

Kentucky Sunrise

Kentucky Sunrise

A Kentucky Sunrise gets its name not only from the fact that the recipe calls for a Kentucky whiskey like Jim Beam but also because the finishing result is a yellow to a deep orange gradient that looks like the sunrise. This beautiful, delicious drink is a lovely choice for summer vacations and spring too, as it's hard to be in a subpar mood when you're drinking it!

Old Fashioned Breeze

Old Fashioned Breeze

Old Fashioned cocktails are one of my favorites due to the simplicity of the drink and how just a few Angostura Bitters can bring out the flavorful hints of whiskey. However, it's not always the most refreshing drink, so when I want something to cool me down, this Old Fashioned Breeze – with orange and cranberry juice in it – gets the job done in a "breeze."

Jim Beam Black® Whiskey Sour

Jim Beam Black® Whiskey Sour

Jim Beam Black® is an optimal whiskey choice to use for a whiskey sour because of its bold, smoky taste. The sweetness from the mix of simple syrup and the sourness of lemon juice pairs perfectly with the 86-proof whiskey, and the addition of egg white is the string that ties it all together with its rich, creamy texture.

Orchard Twist

Apples and whiskey go together like peanut butter and jelly, in my opinion, and the Orchard Twist cocktail takes full advantage of this duo. You'll need Jim Beam® Apple for the perfect taste, as using standard Jim Beam and adding apple juice just won't cut it.

Cranberry Cooler

Like the Bourbon Milk Punch above, a Cranberry Cooler is a chilled drink with warm notes thanks to the Jim Beam whiskey and triple sec. I love drinking this in the fall when I'm hanging out with friends. It's the perfect light-sweater-weather cocktail and goes well with brunch!

Jim Beam Black® Smash

The Jim Beam Black® Smash combines some of my favorite standard cocktail ingredients – fresh mint and lemon wedges – for a delectable, easy-to-make drink. This beverage is a fantastic choice for a nightcap, as it's not too sweet yet not too potent.

Jim Beam Rosemary Lemonade

Some summertime drinks are meant for relaxing but take way too many steps and ingredients for me to actually consider them relaxing! A Jim Beam Rosemary only includes three ingredients – whiskey, lemonade, and rosemary for a slight hint and garnish – and takes no more than five minutes to make.
