BT White Dog Cocktails

I really like "white whiskey" (Sorry Chuck...) in a Bloody Mary. Adds some nice body to an already bold drink.

White dog and our corn whiskey works great in a good bloody mary. It also goes well with lemonade or make a margarita out of it. Stirrings makes a margarita mix that it mixes really good with. Way better than using tequila.

Since we talked about bitters recently, this reminded me that a SB er a couple of years ago (Jake, from D.C.) suggested adding bitters to genever gin. Some genever gin is quite close to white dog whiskey, so I tried this with some rye white dog and there is a similar synergistic effect. Great with ice in a big tumbler.

The reference was to the fact I think white dog tastes like movie theater popcorn. =)

Thanks for all of the ideas, I think the whiskey sour sounds the best to me.

When I was in the army many moons ago, our "punch" for our annual unit summer party was Everclear and lemonade. I'm sure BT Whitedog would work just as well. Joe

This is a staple for most college parties even today. I believe it's referred to as "Jungle Juice" nowadays. Most recipes call for Kool-Aid, but any fruity sugary liquid will do.

one part Gran Gala (or Cointreau)
one part lemon juice.

Shake with ice and serve up. A lemon twist and lightly sugared rim is a nice addition.

Beakerboy,

Just saying thanks -- I gave your recipe a try, substituting Mellow Corn BiB for BT White Dog, and am enjoying it as I type. It's very citrus-y, and makes for a nice change from the sweeter whiskey sour (I realize those last three words make no sense, but there you go).

Glad you like it. I find most true classic cocktails which call for gin or rum work really well with white dog. A white dog caipirinha or mojito are both good too.

Here is take on a "White Manhattan" that I ran across as part of my young whiskey tasting. With the Benedictine, this is a really interesting touch much enjoyable

and the reason for looking in to a white whiskey cocktail in the first place, a brief young whiskey tasting.
