🍸 Cocktail Suggestions
While outstanding neat or with a splash of water, this rye truly shines in classic cocktails:
-
Manhattan: A robust rye twist on the classic—2 oz Knob Creek Rye, 1 oz sweet vermouth, dash of bitters
-
Rye Old Fashioned: Muddled sugar cube, bitters, orange twist
-
Sazerac: Rye-forward sipping with absinthe rinse, sugar cube, Peychaud’s and Angostura bitters
Knob Creek Rye’s spice-forward profile makes it a standout ingredient in stirred classics and signature rye-based cocktails alike.
