I’ve always subscribed to the anecdote: when life gives you lemons… grab some whiskey and make a damn good cocktail out of it.

There are many ways to drink whiskey. Whether you like yours on the rocks, neat, as a shot, with coke or in a cocktail, there is no wrong way to drink whiskey, it’s just what feels right for you.

Below is a collection of 13 whiskey cocktails that you need to know. Many of them are popular classics, while some are the lesser known siblings of cocktails that are prone to make a comeback.

For each cocktail you’ll learn a bit about it’s history, ingredients, the flavour profile and of course, how to make it. And if you’d like a more holistic overview of whiskey, where it came from, what different types taste like and more, check out the Whiskey for Beginners – A Complete Guide here.
