We recently did an Instagram Live video with the North American Brand Ambassador of Forty Creek Whisky, Chris Thompson. During the Trade Talk, our Josh made cocktails using three Forty Creek whiskies. Below are those recipes. We wanted to offer cocktails that can easily be made at home that really showcase each of these spirits.
