Some More Cocktails Made With American Whiskey
There’s Scotch, Irish and Canadian whiskey and in America we have Rye and Bourbon. Here are three more cocktail ideas.
Derby
There are at least three different cocktails called the “Derby.” This is the one associated with the race held at Churchill Downs in Kentucky.
Stir with ice, strain into a cocktail glass and garnish with a lemon peel. 
Whiskey Crusta
A New Orleans classic, invented in 1850.
Shake with ice, strain into a sugar rimmed cocktail glass and garnish with an orange peel. The glass should be prepared in advance so the sugar can harden.
Scofflaw
This rye whiskey drink was invented in Paris while America suffered through Prohibition.
Shake with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
It was invented in Paris so, of course they used French vermouth. Try it with Italian vermouth – much better.
