The Cocktail Cabinet: Whiskey

Whether you lean more toward an Old Fashioned or a fruitier classic like a Whiskey Sour, there is no doubt whiskey is the foundation of some truly great cocktails. Without it we wouldn’t have the Manhattan, the Boulevardier, or the Rob Roy.

With mid-century–inspired illustrations and easy-to-follow recipes, this deck is the ideal pick for budding mixologists and bartending experts.
