We're kicking it old school today and enjoying the 45th signature Wisconsin Mule! Made with Midwest Vodka and 45th Parallel Limoncello, this is a bright and light version of the classic Moscow Mule.

What's your favorite old school 45th cocktail?

We released the Honey Whiskey almost a year ago and we are still buzzing every time we hear about how much you love it! πŸ₯ƒπŸ―

Whiskey made from Wisconsin wheat grain and honey made by Wisconsin bees, together in one bottle - that sounds like a great way to support local, if you ask us!

What do you think - is this a faux early spring, or is winter packing up early? Either way, it's getting us excited for a drink in the sun πŸ₯ƒπŸŒž

Which Old Fashioned do you think is holding the "most ordered" spot? The Bonded, Lakeside, or Dark Knight?

45th Parallel Distillery Border Bourbon finished with Amburana Wood

45th Parallel Distillery Border Bourbon finished with Amburana Wood

Traditionally, a Sidecar is a tart and dry drink made with cognac, orange liqueur, and lemon juice. Our take on it on this #whiskeycocktail is a bit brighter and more complex, thanks to our 45th Orangecello and the cinnamon profile of our Amburana-finished Border Bourbon.
