The Mint Julep is an iconic whiskey cocktail you definitely don’t want to miss. Drinks that are this popular can sometimes seem difficult to make, but this recipe is actually incredibly easy and only requires a few ingredients.

Beyond the whiskey, sugar, and mint, the only other requirement for this drink is crushed ice. Other forms of ice won’t create the same effect, so take the time to create a nice mound of crushed ice before mixing this cocktail. Traditionally, Mint Juleps are served in silver or pewter cups and held by the handle or rim so the cup maintains optimum frost. They work just as well in any tall glass.

The Mint Julep is the traditional drink of the Kentucky Derby, which has helped propel the cocktail’s popularity. Tens of thousands of Mint Juleps are served at Churchill Downs in Louisville, and countless more are enjoyed by fans watching the race throughout the country. With a balance of sweet, smoky, and herbal flavors, the Mint Julep is delicious all year long.

First, lets gather the ingredients. You’ll need:

• 4 to 5 mint sprigs, leaves only

• 2 sugar cubes, or 1/2 ounce simple syrup

• 2 1/2 ounces Filmoore Rides Whiskey

• Mint sprig, for garnish

The Vieux Carré (pronounced in the Cajun and Creole style voh care-eh) is a classic cocktail straight from 1930s New Orleans. It is a complex and fascinating drink that is as popular today as it was when it was first created.

This cocktail is a short, slow sipper that begins with equal parts of whiskey, cognac, and sweet vermouth. Not one, but two bitters are used and there is a hint of a classic herbal liqueur to give it even more dimension.

If you are looking for a truly great cocktail, the Vieux Carré is it and it is one of the signature drinks of New Orleans.

To make this intriguing drink, you’ll need:

• 3/4 ounce Filmoore Rides Whiskey

• 3/4 ounce cognac

• 3/4 ounce sweet vermouth

• 1/2 ounce Benedictine liqueur

The whiskey highball is a simple, classic, and popular way to enjoy your favorite whiskey. This recipe is one that every aspiring bartender should know, and it is quite simply, whiskey and ginger ale. That makes it very easy to memorize. And you don’t even really need to mix it, because the carbonation of the soda naturally mixes in the alcohol.

This tall mixed highball drink is a refreshing way to enjoy Filmoore Rides Whsikey.

The highball was originally mixed with plain soda water in the late 1800s, but ginger ale is the most common mixer used today. The soda’s sweet and snappy flavor is a nice accent to whiskey and ginger ales can vary. Between the two ingredients, you can create a nearly endless array of tastes, which is one of the reasons it’s so popular.

This mixed drink, however, should not be confused with the class of drinks called “Highballs”, which include most tall drinks that combine a shot of a base spirit and one or two nonalcoholic mixers—think of timeless combos such as rum and Coke. To take it a step further, the word “highball” is also used when referring to the tall glasses that these drinks are served in.

To make this very easy drink, you’ll need:

• 2 ounces Filmoore Rides Whiskey

• 4 to 6 ounces ginger ale, or club soda, to taste

The pickleback is a very interesting whiskey shot and a drink you have to experience for yourself. It’s incredibly simple— a shot of Filmoore Rides Whiskey, chased by a shot of pickle juice—and it is, without a doubt, one of the most popular shots ordered in bars around the world.

Chasing whiskey with pickle brine really is nothing new; it’s long been one of those “hair of the dog” remedies for a hangover. Yet, it wasn’t until 2006 that Brooklyn bartender Reggie Cunningham gave the shot its now-famous name at the Bushwick Country Club. After that, it didn’t take long for the drink to become a hit and spread across the U.S. and beyond.

The combination is odd, though it works surprisingly well. Even if you’re not a fan of pickles, it’s a drink you’ll want to try because it delivers a rich, umami flavor that you will not find in any other drink. There’s no need to head to the bar, either. You can experience the pickleback at home, even with that jar of Vlasic pickles hanging out in your fridge.

All you need for this are:

• 1 1/2 ounces Filmoore Rides Whiskey

• 1 1/2 ounces pickle juice
