Bourbon cocktails
Stirred classics like Old Fashioned, Manhattan (Sweet), and Met Manhattan share space with sours such as Gold Rush, Paris Sour, and Pineapple Sour for a deeper, oak-led profile.
Start here
Bourbon cocktails sort cleanly into three lanes. For stirred drinkers, Old Fashioned, Manhattan (Sweet), Met Manhattan, New York, New York, and Fourth Regiment carry the spirit-forward end where oak and bitters lead. For sour fans, Gold Rush, Paris Sour, Pineapple Sour, and Whiskey Collins use citrus and sugar to balance bourbon's weight. For longer or richer pours, Bourbon Milk Punch and Brown Derby stretch the glass with dairy or grapefruit. Use the recipe grid to read past the names. Subourbon and Old Money No. 2 sit in the modern, twist-on-classic camp. Triple Crown and Dragoon push into spirit-heavy, less sweet territory. Bourbon Blush and Chas lean fruitier for drinkers who find straight bourbon too dense. If you want a single recipe that shows what the base spirit does best, the Old Fashioned is the clearest test, then move into Manhattans and sours from there. Open any card for the full build.
