Many beverages can be made with whiskey. Some drinks are traditional whiskey drinks while others aren't. Some of these whiskey-based drinks can be found in canned form or ready-to-drink containers. These drinks can be stored in a cooler and don't need separate glasses.
Root beer
American farm brewers created small beers for their family in the 18th Century. These early versions contained as little alcohol as 2% and were commonly called "root beer". Charles Hires started selling root beer in 1876. Many of its promoters praised its medicinal properties. Bartenders started experimenting with root beer by mixing it with other alcoholic beverages in the early 20th century. One of the first cocktails to incorporate root beer was the Jack Daniels and Coca-Cola mix.
Ginger ale
Ginger ale can be mixed well with whiskey. This refreshing drink is a great pairing with whiskey because of its combination of ginger ale and lime. The bourbon relaxes the body, while the ginger and lime flavors refresh the taste buds.
Beet juice
Beet juice makes a great addition to whiskey. This delicious juice can add color and depth to a cocktail. To enhance the flavour, you can add fresh or dehydrated honey to your cocktail. You should be aware, however, that dehydrated beets may not taste the same as fresh ones. Juicing beets raw is the best option to get the best tasting juice.
Apple cider
