The theme is OUT TO TENNESSEE!
The entire world knows this state’s whiskey well—but with many more distillers being added to the marquee, an inspired revival is underway. We’ve got two Tennessean tour guides eager to bring you the beautiful vibes of their home state by serving up its legendary spirit in imaginative ways—so come with us Out to Tennessee to greet the first signs of summer with some warm and hazy Southern-style sippin’!
Here’s a sneak peek:
Second to sunscreen, the essential you’ll need to thrive in the high temps and bright rays will be a tall, sparkling glass of Hiwassee River Water. Nneka Ijeoma crafted this cocktail with summer fun in mind, name checking a Tennessee waterway known for fishing, rafting, and other rousing recreation. Grab your spot on the banks for a picnic and be sure to bring this whiskey and tonic, with a nudge of lemongrass and punch of cooling honeydew. While the proverb states that one swallow doesn’t make a summer, luckily that won’t be an issue with this one beckoning.
At the heart of your upcoming Summer Fling, from Samir Osman, is a shrub with great depth of flavor from earthy, rich beets and fragrant rosemary. The color is a resplendent tone of red and the taste quite tempting when cooled down along with Tennessee whiskey, sparkling water, and orange bitters. Swipe right on this peppy refresher and prime yourself for a second . . . third . . . and fourth date!
Just like its musical influence, the cocktail Pancho and Lefty (remix) is a memorable study of two sides. The song doesn’t end well for the titular traveling outlaws but, in the glass, you’ll find that both teams within Tennessee whiskey—the faint char and sweet—aren’t in a duel, but a dance made even more delicious by another of Samir Osman’s recipes.
He’s turned the volume up on both, with smoked pecan wood coalescing with the spirit’s other wood elements, and bright peach and maple syrup lifting up its notes of vanilla and caramel. In the end, it’s a warming and summery taste—akin to a grilled peach—and an easygoing companion to happily bring back to camp.
