Spring is here, and that means it’s time for spring cocktails. Dust off the grill and get back to doing what we do best: drinking whiskey outside. Flying Ace isn’t a bourbon that needs a crystal glass and a quiet room. It’s a no-BS whiskey built for backyard fire pits, tailgates, and deck parties.
So, if you’re ready to ditch the heavy winter drinks and mix up something fresh (without sacrificing your love for a good, strong pour), we’ve got you covered.
High-Flyin’ Whiskey Smash
Refreshing, easy, with just enough of that whiskey bite.
2 oz Flying Ace Straight Bourbon Whiskey
3 lemon wedges
5-6 fresh mint leaves
.2 oz honey or simple syrup
Crushed ice
Muddle the lemon, mint, and honey in a glass. Add whiskey, fill with crushed ice, and stir. Strong, smooth, and dangerously easy to drink.
Porch-Pounder Whiskey Lemonade
In the summer, whiskey and lemonade just belong together.
2 oz Flying Ace Straight Bourbon Whiskey
4 oz fresh lemonade
Splash of club soda
Lemon slice & mint (if you’re trying to impress someone)
Mix, pour over ice, and top with club soda. Sip while flipping burgers or talking big about your cornhole skills.
Spiked Peach Tea
Sweet, smooth, and perfect for sipping in the sun.
2 oz Flying Ace Peach Whiskey
4 oz iced tea (black or green)
.5 oz simple syrup (optional)
Lemon wedge
Ice
Fill a glass with ice, pour in the whiskey and tea, and stir. Add simple syrup if you like it sweeter. Squeeze a lemon wedge on top and enjoy.
Black Cherry Mule
Bold, fizzy, and just the right kick of spice.
2 oz Flying Ace Black Cherry Whiskey
4 oz ginger beer
.5 oz lime juice
Lime wedge
Ice
Fill a copper mug (or whatever’s handy) with ice, pour in whiskey, lime juice, and ginger beer. Stir, garnish with a lime wedge, and sip like a pro.
Campfire Old Fashioned
Smoky, sweet, and just fancy enough to fool people into thinking you know what you’re doing.
2 oz Flying Ace Straight Bourbon Whiskey
1 sugar cube
2 dashes Angostura bitters
Orange peel
Cherry (optional, but it makes you look classy)
Muddle the sugar and bitters in a glass. Add whiskey, a big ice cube, and stir. If you’re by a fire, hold the orange peel over the flame for a second before dropping it in. It’s all about the little touches.
Spring is all about shaking off the winter blues and kicking back with good people. Whether you’re grilling or just hanging out on the porch, Flying Ace Spirits is ready for the ride. So grab a bottle, gather the crew, and make some memories – just don’t forget to crack a cold one to pair.
