In a terrace, by the pool or in any other place – even if vacations are weeks away – Maker’s Mark presents exclusive cocktails thought for the purpose of enjoying the summer with all its opportunities.
The first Premioum Bourbon of the world offers three proposals that will become the leit motiv of summer gatherings.
The first of them is Maker’s Mutis, the ‘ideal cocktail for drinking in a terrace or by the pool in the most sophisticated fashion, thanks to its combination of Maker’s Mark with champagne’, assures the Brand Ambassador of Maker’s Mark, Joseph Caro.
Mutis Cocktail
20 ml Maker’s Mark Bourbon
20ml BVland Créme de Cacao
20ml BVland Triple Sec
120ml Champagne
Garnish: a blackberry
Preparation: Mix all the ingredients except for the champagne in a cocktail glass with ice, shake for a few seconds, sift and pour in a champagne flute. Pour champagne to fill the cup. Decorate by dropping a berry in the bottom.
The second presentation is Maker’s Sour, perfect for those who are enjoying holidays as well as for those who still are working in the summer heat. Caro assures that this is the ‘best option to relax and enjoy the summer with an authentic Bourbon flavor’.
Maker’s Sour
60ml Maker’s Mark Bourbon
30ml squeezed lemon juice
15ml sugar syrup
3 hits of Angostura aromatic bitters
½ fresh egg white
Preparation: Shake all the ingredients with the ice, sift and serve directly in a glass filled with ice. Decorate with a lemon slice and a maraschino cherry.
Finally, for those with a sweet tooth, ‘Maker’s Mark has created a cocktail that combines the sweetness of the red fruits with the softness of bourbon’, as Joseph Caro states. It’s Maker’s Smash, a refreshing cocktail that will rise your senses to the utmost.
Maker’s Smash
½ squeezed lemon
3 blackberries
1 hit sugar syrup
60ml Maker’s Mark
1 hit blackberry liqueur
30ml cranberry juice

In Spain, Maker’s Mark is one of the portfolio brands of Beam Global, Spirits & Wine, which is distributed by Maxxium España. Its characteristic bottle and recognizable red wax seal has accomplished for Maker’s Mark to become an institution in the world of bourbon. Its elaboration is pure craftwork and it uses winter red wheat instead of the usual rye. Maker’s Mark is the perfect bourbon to drink straight up or use in the preparation of cocktails for its deliciously soft taste.
