Luke Rowe, bar manager, ELWAY’S , Denver “ Wild Turkey 101 is a great underrated choice for cocktails. One of my favorite drinks to make with it is an Old Fashioned with Demerara, allspice, and a bar spoon of Branca Menta.” I love it in a highball or a Gold Rush , but am happy sipping it on the rocks.”

2 spot on North America’s 50 Best Bar list. The Vodka Y Soda isn’t just a two-ingredient highball; they add guava and pasilla into the mix, and the result is refreshing and intensely flavorful.

Tim Sweeney, head bartender/partner, Pebble Bar , NYC “With a price tag of around $30, Buffalo Trace is a great bang-for-your-buck bourbon. It packs a punch at 100 proof, making it perfect for a wide range of cocktails, from a refreshing highball to an egg white Whiskey Sour or a classic Old Fashioned.

It is a blended malt Scotch whisky, so has incredible body and mouthfeel but with a really balanced, non-smoky, approachable flavor profile that hits home in a classic Old Fashioned , a refreshing highball, or even a Piña Colada. Though it is not the cheapest, it creates exotic and complex sours, highballs, and Negronis.”
