Many beverages can be made with whiskey. Some are traditional whiskey drinks, and some aren't. Some whiskey-based cocktails can be purchased in canned form or ready for consumption. These can be kept in a cooler, and they don't require separate glasses.
Root beer
American farm brewers began to make small batches of beers for their own families in 18th-century America. These early versions were as low as 2% alcohol. They were called "root beer". Charles Hires, a pioneer in root beer commercialization, introduced it to the market in 1876. Many of its advocates praised its healing properties. Bartenders first experimented with the drink in the early 20th-century by combining it into other alcoholic beverages. Jack Daniels & Coca-Cola mixed was the first to incorporate root beer into cocktails.
Ginger ale
Ginger ale is an excellent mixer with whiskey. The combination of ginger and lime makes it a refreshing beverage that compliments whiskey well. The bourbon is a relaxing drink, and the ginger-lime flavors are refreshing.
Beet juice
Beet juice makes a great addition to whiskey. This tasty juice can enhance the flavor of a cocktail by adding color and depth. You can use both fresh and dehydrated beets to enhance the flavour. Dehydrated beets have a different taste to fresh ones. In order to get the best taste, juicing beets fresh is the best option.

FAQ
How can you tell if a beverage is strong?
Drinks with more alcohol are stronger than those with less. The amount of alcohol in a drink is measured in proof. One proof equals one percent alcohol for each 100g grain alcohol volume. So a 12 oz. bottle of wine would be ten proofs, and a 16 oz. beer would be 13proofs and a 40oz. 45 proofs would be required for a bottle of Scotch.
How long does a batch of frozen homemade cocktails take?

How To
How to make a good martini?
A martini consists of gin (or vodka), vermouth and ice. The ingredients must be mixed together properly before serving. It is typically served in chilled glasses. It is best to have a martini straight up. You ruin the taste if you mix it.
A martini can be served with two olives. You can also add olive brine to the rim of your glass if you want to make your drink more flavorful.
Any type of alcohol can be used, however it is best to use 100% grain alcohol such as Vodka and Gin. This gives the cocktail more texture. There are many kinds of vermouths. However, we recommend choosing one that doesn't contain added sugar. Sugar can make cocktails too sweet.
To start making a martini, pour 2 ounces of dry vermouth into a shaker filled with ice. Add 1 ounce of vodka. Stir vigorously until combined. Place in a chilled martini glasses and garnish with an olive.
To make a martini using a shaker, follow the same steps above. Remember not to shake the mixture too much - only enough to combine all the ingredients.
