Ambassador Private Selection #1

Bright and balanced with just a kiss of bitterness from the Amaro and Aperol^® liqueurs, this elegant riff on the whisky sour sails to delicious, new heights. The Paper Plane cocktail may get its name from its remarkable balance – like a paper airplane that has been folded just right. The slightly bitter, lower-proof Aperol^® liqueur brightens things up, bringing touches of citrus and the signature Maker's caramel notes forward.

A bit like a “cold toddy,” the Penicillin cocktail brings together the comforting flavors of lemon and honey, a touch of smoke from scotch, a zing of ginger and, of course, Maker’s Mark. A tale of two whiskies, the Penicillin cocktail opens with aromas of smoke and peat and then gives way to a balanced sweetness and a pop of spice. Maker’s, Scotch, ginger, honey and lemon recall the flavors of warm drinks, but in this case, are best served on the rocks.

This Whisky Sour riff replaces simple syrup with honey syrup, also known as “liquid honey”, to add a new richness and depth to the original. Honey syrup adds sweet depth to bright, fresh citrus and the bold, bourbon flavors of Maker’s Mark. The Gold Rush cocktail takes no time to make, but you won’t want to rush through sipping this honeyed riff on the Whisky Sour.
