10 Whiskey Drinks to Make at Home Because It Simply Makes Life Better

We rounded up 10 of the best whiskey cocktails to shake up - or stir - at home. Most of these cocktail recipes and whiskey drinks are either stirred or made in a cocktail shaker. We didn't include every single the classic cocktails containing whiskey (the Kentucky Derby mint julep and negroni aren't on the list!) but enough to get you started. Don't forget the rocks glass or your favorite cocktail glasses.
