“Put me in coach, I’m ready to play, today!”
It’s Opening Day! Baseball season means warmer weather, tailgating and my favorite baseball team, the Philadelphia Phillies. To kick-off game day I am sharing this delicious Cherry Whiskey Jubilee Cocktail featuring Templeton Rye Whiskey.
My husband is a huge fan of brown liquor so I knew he would love to try Templeton Rye. Templeton Rye Whiskey presents an almost bittersweet taste that is found in the rye grain. There is also nice undertones of dried fruit, toffee, caramel and allspice flavors. All the flavors he normally enjoys when it comes to whiskey. Plus, the hubster is a history buff and enjoys mob stories so I knew he would like Templeton Rye Whiskey’s back story.
About Templeton Rye Whiskey
“When prohibition outlawed the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages in 1920, many enterprising residents of tiny Temple ton, Iowa, population 350, came together to create an American classic known as Templeton Rye Whiskey, or “The Good Stuff” to those in the know.
Over the course of its storied history, Templeton Rye became Al Capone’s whiskey of choice. Templeton Rye quickly found its way to the center of his bootlegging empire. Speakeasies in Chicago, New York and as far west as San Francisco poured Templeton Rye as the “Best Whiskey in the House”.
Later legends suggest that a few bottles even found their way inside the walls of Alcatraz to the cell of prisoner AZ-85. Available legally for the first time, the infamous rye whiskey returns.
Cherry Whiskey Jubilee Cocktail
The Cherry Whiskey Jubilee Cocktail combines Templeton Rye Whiskey with cherry cola. Other ingredients include simple syrup, maraschino cherry juice and maraschino cherries to finish.
