Needed: Recipes to use White Whiskey with
Folks,
We are all set up to do a couple of introductory tastings around our tri-state area. Now I'm thinking a dog-&-pony show is in order, but I don't want to spend a lot of money soooo...
I'm planning to do a show and tell, featuring our two first release products - mix with a generous dose of BS. We'll be starting with our White, which BTW we are calling "Misty Morning"! (Daughter says it's a stripper name...go figure!). We'll also be introducing Uncle Lum's Straight Whiskey, which I plan to suggest ought to be drunk straight.
But I have no idea how to demonstrate White Whiskey, not having acquired the taste for it straight. Anyone have any favorite recipes they like for mixing white whiskey into? Ours is a suitable drink over ice, it resembles a brown whiskey but lacks the character contributed by ageing. IMHO it's an order of magnitude better than what's being sold as moonshine in commercial liquor stores. Wish I'd taken some to Jedfest for feed back from the experts but.... I'm thinking it'll better accepted as a bar accessory for mixed drinks. If you have a favorite recipe for mixing a white whiskey cocktail, please share it.
It's onward and upward...

As tested by my SOH, most any vodka cocktail gets a little more character with white whiskey stepping in for the vodka. A White Tonic is particularly good and has an amusing name.

Nothing wrong with making a classic Manhattan or Old Fashion available.
Helps the regular people get their head around what a white whiskey can be.

Re: Needed: Recipes to use White Whiskey with
I found most any whisky white or brown mixes good with a good ginger ale.
But I will agree uncle lum is best neat at 80-90 proof not 120.

It would be cool if they still made clear coke. You could make a fully clear whiskey and coke!jb-texshine wrote:Ujssm is good with coke... Try that with your white whiskey. +1vodka substitute.

Re: Needed: Recipes to use White Whiskey with
It's a bit more of a summer drink but I am a fan of 1/3 sprite (or 7-up or ginger ale), 1/3 pink grapefruit juice, 1/3 clear alcohol (vodka, white whiskey, white rum). Over ice... Pretty dangerous in the summer.
Glad to hear you're up and running boom, congrats!!

Re: Needed: Recipes to use White Whiskey with
No recipe but some advice from someone who has done a lot of tastings.
Highlight the versatility of the white when you talk to people. We do Shiny Marys and Shinaritas as examples.
Also straight with a twist of citrus, Shine Sunrise, Greyhounds, Straight with a baby corn or pickled okra for garnish.
Since our Smoke Shine is an all corn the baby corn garnish always goes over well.

Re: Needed: Recipes to use White Whiskey with
Okay guys...working on a couple of 'example' recipes here....not having gone out last night, but rather to bed early, and up early - making whiskey!
Just took a glen carien glass, put two cubes from and old fashioned ice tray in it, and filled it to the middle of the bulge with clear at 90p. Topped it off with diet Cranberry Juice, ( it's the only cranberry on the shelf that did not have any sugar added, nor grape juice nor other...).
Think I'm going to call it a "Pink Puppy", made of Cranberry and White Dog....
What do you think?

Re: Needed: Recipes to use White Whiskey with
Other than the "diet", it sounds pretty damn good. I'll have to try that. I have some 100% cranberry in the refrigerator.
Re: Needed: Recipes to use White Whiskey with
yep, pretty damn good! Don't let the diet trouble you...just don't get a juice that has sugar added, expecially corn syrup....you'll taste that.RedwoodHillBilly wrote:Other than the "diet", it sounds pretty damn good. I'll have to try that. I have some 100% cranberry in the refrigerator.
One pink puppy could extend her visit time a bit, you know, everybody loves to pet the puppy.....

Re: Needed: Recipes to use White Whiskey with
I second this. I mix mine with a home-made lemonade syrup then add a little sprite or 7-up for some fizz, garnish with orange slice. Wicked hard lemonade!bitter wrote:White whiskey in limonaid.. amazing how little the white whiskey you taste...
