The Mint Julep is a fresh and minty cocktail, commonly associated with the Kentucky Derby but appreciated all-round. The three ingredients, whiskey, mint leaves, and simple syrup blend well to create a refreshing (and boozy) cocktail perfect for hot days. We recommend you use a whiskey that you really enjoy, as it has a big presence in this cocktail. We used Teeling Whiskey Small Batch which brings a beautiful oaky and sweetness to the drink.

The Mint Julep’s difficulty rating is 2/10 as only it requires a quick shake in the cocktail shaker. Again, the ingredients are easy to obtain and you might even have them already!

Prepare yourself for a fun and refreshing cocktail – the Teeling Mai Tai! The drink originates in 1944, when Trader Vic. blended a new cocktail for his friends. Upon having the first sip, one of his friends said “Mai Tai-Roa Aé” which translates to “Out of this world – the best” in Tahitian. Hence, the drink was named the Mai Tai. 

The Teeling Mai Tai difficulty rating was 4/10. Although the making of the drink is relatively simple, achieving a garnish similar to our example is quite challenging.

We’re bringing you a classic cocktail – The Whiskey Sour, featuring Teeling Small Batch Whiskey! Despite it having the word ‘sour’ in the name, the simple syrup balances the cocktail nicely and prevents it from being too tart. Although The Whiskey Sour has been around for a while, it was first written down in The Bartenders Guide (1862) by Jerry Thomas. It also serves as a base for many of the other sour cocktails.

The Whiskey Sour’s difficulty rating was 6/10 as there’s quite a few steps to do. For example, there is an initial dry shaker (shake without ice) to get the correct egg white texture. However, the remainder of the recipe is fairly straightforward.

Our first cocktail we made with Teeling Whiskey is The Teeling Tipperary. Allegedly, The Tipperary cocktail was first featured in the 1917 book, Recipes for Mixed Drinks, written by Hugo R. Ensslin. It’s said that the guest who asked for a drink was humming ‘It’s a Long Way to Tipperary’, which was the song for homesick Irish soldiers in WW1. Therefore, it’s only suiting that this cocktail features Irish whiskey. The Teeling Tipperary is a rich and slightly sweet cocktail, with the green chartreuse bringing some herbal notes.

The Teeling Tipperary’s difficulty rating was 2/10. The process is very simple and the recipe only includes three ingredients.
