5 Evan Williams Cocktails Easy Enough to Mix at Home
There are nights when elaborate cocktails with smoked sage and fancy garnishes are in order... but most evenings, simple is the way to go -- especially if you’re mixing drinks at home. The easiest way to pack complex tastes into a straightforward drink is to reach for a spirit that pulls double duty, such as Evan Williams Flavors. Their varieties like sweet Peach, crisp Apple, and smooth Honey add a little extra punch to classic mixed drinks, so we created five cocktails to highlight each flavor. They all have fewer than three ingredients, can be made in practically no time, and don’t require any mixology lessons -- so you can just pour, kick back, and enjoy.
Honey Iced Tea
We’re channeling front porch swings and lazy evenings with this recipe, which stars Evan Williams Honey alongside iced tea. Mix it with sweet or unsweetened tea depending on your preference, garnish with a lemon, and relax.

- Pour Evan Williams Honey over ice in a Mason jar.
- Fill with tea.

Apple Mule
Mules aren’t just for craft cocktail bars anymore -- especially not with this straightforward recipe. Here, you just add Evan Williams Apple to ginger beer and fresh lime juice… and the most difficult part will be tracking down a copper mug.
