Yes, of course: the keyword whiskey is often associated with heavy leather armchairs and cigars and fireplaces and… well… not so much summer temperatures. But there is another way. Nothing against Manhattan or Old Fashioned with their dark, deep flavor profiles, but spicy, citrusy (it’s a word), fresh summer drinks are all the rage right now. And yes, that goes for whiskey too. Here are eight proofs:
No, Irish whiskey isn’t just for St. Patrick’s Day.
6 cl Irish whiskey
1.5cl St Germain
2 cl sugar syrup
2 cl freshly squeezed lemon juice
The fruitier, fresher version of the mint julep.
2 cl sugar syrup
4-5 mint leaves
3 large lemon wedges
Mint sprigs for garnish
Oh, because we just got it: Here’s the ultimate whiskey summer drink classic!
2 cl sugar syrup
A few mint leaves or sprigs
A whiskey cocktail that, as the name suggests, is almost beach ready.
1.5cl Campari
2 cl freshly squeezed lime juice
about 6 cl of ginger ale
Lime wedge for garnish
A tasty long drink that gets some depth thanks to the addition of Angostura bitters.
3 drops Angostura Bitters
10 cl ginger ale
Tennessee in a highball glass: Take a sip and close your eyes – you’ll hear the chirping of the crickets.
3cl Cointreau
1.5 cl freshly squeezed lemon juice
1.5 cl sugar syrup
1 dl Sprite (or similar lemonade)
Here’s an invention of mine (hence the homemade photo 😂) – although I can imagine someone else came up with a similar idea. But it’s fine, and that’s the main thing.
½ lime
1 shot of maple syrup
Mineral water
If a drink is named after a Loretta Lynn song, it can’t be bad.
2 cl freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 cl honey
1 teaspoon ginger syrup
1 sprig of lavender (plus one more for garnish)
