Since Summer is here now,
I thought it will be a great idea to introduce you guys to some of my favorite whiskey cocktail to drink during the summer.
So I will be introducing you guys to Shandy Maker, Kentucky Buck, and my favorite Mint Juleps
I will also be posting links to the recipes to these whiskey cocktails.
Lets start with the easiest one Shandy Maker and finish with the Mint Juleps
Shandy Maker
So the Shandy Maker is a perfect summer whiskey cocktail cause it give you the taste of the whiskey combine with the hoppy taste of and IPA. And the recipe is very simple to make it is essentially combining some whiskey with some IPA , syrup, and lime juice. The lime juice and the IPA will keep you cool during the summer and the whiskey will add to the taste. Enjoy it on a Rock for best result. And it is a easy cocktail to make in batch and serve in one of your summer BBQ.

Kentucky Buck
If you ask any whiskey drinker what Kentucky is famous they will likely tell you Bourbon. Here is a simple Bourbon cocktail you can make at home to impress you significant other or at you next party to impress your friends. It is slightly more complex than the Shandy Maker but it's not hard to a point that you need a bartender license to make. It taste slightly sweet and very bubbly and the ginger beer (or soda) help enhance the citrus-ness from the lime. If you do ever go to the Kentucky Derby, this will be a great drink to order for you or your significant other.

Mint Julep
This is my favorite cocktail to order during the summer. It is perfect for any situation. Whether you are at outdoor bar in or at the beach club, this cocktail will cool you down and make you look like you know your alcohol. It is a little bit on the strong side so be aware of that. However, it is very very simple to make. All you need is mint, syrup and bourbon. You can also add bitter if you like, but that essentially makes it taste too much like a Old fashion. I love this drink without the bitter, but thats just me. Try it next time you go to a bar, if the bartender doesn't know what it is then he doesn't know he's cocktail. Oh and Fun Fact, this drink is actually in the famous tv series Mad Men.
