Best Whiskey Cocktail Recipes
We love whiskey in the winter: hot toddies set your ears aflame on cold snowy nights, and there’s nothing like beefing up your coffee on an icy morning with a good dose of Scotch. But whiskey is also a drink made to herald the coming of the warmer weather, in the form of lemonades, juleps and milkshakes (yes, milkshakes).

So trade in that old-fashioned and kick back with one of these lighter, fizzier options in anticipation of muggy porch night season.

6. End-of-Summer
I know, I know, it’s a little too early to be talking about the end of summer. In fact, in some parts of the country it’s still too early to be talking about spring. But this peach smash sounds so inviting, you shouldn’t have to wait until August to try it. Get the recipe.
