Costco's Kirkland Signature Whisky: A Smooth Mixer for Classic Cocktails

Kirkland Signature Canadian Whisky has gained popularity among Costco customers for its affordable price and smooth taste. The whisky's notes of vanilla, caramel, honey, and cinnamon make it a great mixer for classic cocktails.

The Whisky Sour is one such cocktail that pairs well with Kirkland Signature Canadian Whisky. To make this cocktail, combine 2 ounces of the whisky, half an ounce of lemon juice, half an ounce of simple syrup, and 1 egg white in a shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously for about 30 seconds, then strain into a rocks or coupe glass and garnish with Angostura bitters, maraschino cherry, and orange peel.

The Whisky and Coke is another classic cocktail that can be made with Kirkland Signature Canadian Whisky. Combine 2 ounces of the whisky with 4 ounces of Coca-Cola for a basic recipe. Adding a half ounce of fresh lime juice brightens up the drink, and garnish with a twist of lime.

The Old Fashioned is a classic cocktail that originated in the late 19th century. The modern version includes 1 sugar cube, 2 dashes of Angostura bitters, 1.5 ounces of whisky, and 1 orange peel for garnish. A sugar cube gets saturated with bitters and muddled until mostly dissolved, then added to a glass filled with ice and stirred together.
