In the immortal words of Biz Markie, “It’s Spring again!” George Remus Bourbon and Rossville Union Rye Whiskey asked me to make springtime cocktails and I was happy to oblige.

For George Remus, the “king of the bootleggers,” I created this riff on a Paper Plane. Named after the xx that Remus once owned, The George Remus Fleishman Flyer is a refreshing cocktail for when you want to get away! Check out the video below for step-by-step instructions.

Ingredients:

• 3/4 oz George Remus Bourbon

• 3/4 oz Aperol

• 3/4 oz amaro

• 3/4 oz lemon juice

Instructions:

Add bourbon, Aperol, amaro and lemon juice into a shaker with ice and shake until well-chilled. Strain into an Old Fashioned glass filled with ice. Garnish with two cocktail cherries.

For Rossville Union, I decided to use my favorite kind of whiskey in the cocktail that changed the game for me—the classic daiquiri! The Rossville Union Rye Shake is a simple enough cocktail to make, but its layered flavors are anything but. Watch the video below for step-by-step instructions.

Ingredients:

• 2 oz Rossville Union Rye Whiskey

• 1 oz lime juice, freshly squeezed

• 3/4 oz simple syrup

Add rye whiskey, lime juice and simple syrup to a shaker into a shaker with ice. Shake and strain into a coupe. Garnish with a seasonal berry of your choice.
