Beyond the Old Fashioned: Elevate Your Bourbon Cocktails with Elevated Mixers

Calling all bourbon lovers! If you're a fan of the Old Fashioned Mix, there's more in store for your bourbon than just one classic cocktail. At Elevated Mixers, we create organic, cold-pressed mixers that blend beautifully with bourbon and whiskey for a variety of exciting cocktails—no need to limit yourself to the traditional Old Fashioned.

Whether you're in the mood for a sour twist or a tropical surprise, our mixers have you covered. Here’s how you can take your bourbon game to the next level with a few of our favorite mixers.

Classic Sour - A Frothy Whiskey Delight

Love a frothy, refreshing Whiskey Sour? Our Classic Sour mixer was designed to give you the perfect balance without the need for egg whites. It pairs effortlessly with bourbon and other whiskies, opening the door to creative takes like the New York Sour or Blackberry Mint Sour. Not only that, but it’s versatile enough to make non-whiskey cocktails like a Pisco Sour or a Lemon Drop Martini just as impressive.

• New York Sour: Combine 1.5 oz Bourbon and 1.5 oz Classic Sour, then top it off with a splash of red wine (Pinot Noir is a great choice) for a layered, tart treat.

• Blackberry Mint Sour: Muddle a handful of fresh blackberries, add 1.5 oz Bourbon and 1.5 oz Classic Sour, then top with soda (club soda, ginger ale, or lemon-lime soda) and garnish with a sprig of fresh mint for a fruity, refreshing twist.

H.O.P.E. - Sweet, Fruity, Floral with Bourbon? Yes, Please!

Our H.O.P.E. mixer was crafted to be sweet, fruity, and floral—usually paired with gin or champagne—but it’s a sleeper hit when combined with bourbon! This versatile mixer can bring out the rich undertones in your bourbon while adding its own light and complex character. Try it in cocktails like Blackbeard’s Bind (a favorite at The Wisp in Bald Head Island, NC), which blends 1.5 oz Bourbon and 1.5 oz H.O.P.E. for a simple yet sophisticated drink.

Feeling creative? Mix H.O.P.E. with our Classic Sour to craft a unique, floral-forward take on the Whiskey Sour.

Tropical Spice - Bourbon Goes Island Style

Dreaming of a tropical vacation? Our Tropical Spice mixer, known for pairing with rum and lime seltzer, is just as good with bourbon! This blend of spicy, sweet, and citrus notes will transport you to an island paradise—no rum required.

• Tropical Spice & Bourbon: Combine 1.5 oz Bourbon, 1.5 oz Tropical Spice, and 2-3 oz of lime seltzer for a refreshing, island-inspired twist on a bourbon highball.

• Tropical Spice Smash: Smash it up by combining 2 oz Bourbon, 1.5 oz Tropical Spice, and 8 expressed mint leaves. Add 2-3 oz ginger ale or lemon-lime soda to create a refreshing, minty cocktail that’s perfect for warm evenings.

Whether you’re shaking things up with the Classic Sour, blending sweetness with H.O.P.E., or taking a bourbon-fueled tropical getaway with Tropical Spice, Elevated Mixers will help you create stunning cocktails beyond the Old Fashioned. So grab your favorite bottle of bourbon and let your creativity flow!
