Pickleback
Gather the ingredients. Pour one shot glass full of whiskey and fill a separate shot glass with pickle juice. Tip Many people have found that a beer chaser is a perfect way to finish up the pickleback, though it's not required. If you'd like to give it a try, stick with the light, refreshing lagers. Dos Equis, Tecate, and Pabst Blue Ribbon are some of the top choices among pickleback fans.

Gather the ingredients. Pour the whiskey, triple sec, and lemon juice into a collins glass and add ice. Top with soda. Stir well and add lemon slices. Serve and enjoy. Tips You can, of course, pour a whiskey other than Jack Daniel's into this cocktail, and it will be pretty good, but it's not an authentic Lynchburg Lemonade. Should you decide to change up the whiskey, go with another Tennessee whiskey or a full-flavored bourbon. Choose a quality triple sec. Whatever you do, stay away from those $5 specials that are so common at the liquor store. They're too sweet and unnaturally flavored to do any cocktail any good. Fresh lemon juice really does make the best Lynchburg Lemonade. One average lemon should yield enough juice for two drinks. Let it reach room temperature and roll it under the palm of your hand on the counter to maximize the juice. The choices for lemon-lime soda are vast. Sprite, 7-Up, and Sierra Mist are all popular options. If you want a splash of something really interesting, try Q Drinks Lemon or Fever-Tree Sparkling Lemon.

Gather the ingredients. In a wine or old-fashioned glass filled with crushed ice, build the ingredients. Stir well and top with soda, if desired. Add the fruit garnishes (skewered or piled on top of the ice). Serve with a straw and enjoy! Tips Feel free to adjust the amount of syrup to taste. A full ounce may be a little much, depending on the whiskey or brandy you pour. Start out with just 1/2 ounce of syrup, stir it up, give it a taste, then add more if needed. Use whatever fruits are in season at the moment, just as they would have in the late 1800s before modern distribution made a bounty of fruits available year-round. If you prefer to keep it simple, a cherry and a slice each of lemon and orange are great any time of year. Some cobbler recipes top the drink with club soda. This is a fine option, though it's not traditional or required. Cobblers really are best when served over crushed ice. To quickly crush ice cubes, place them in a plastic or cloth bag (a Lewis bag is specifically made for this task) and hit it with your muddler or a rolling pin. You can also use a blender but will want to remove any excess water it creates.

Gather the ingredients. Chill an old-fashioned glass by filling it with ice. Let it sit while you prepare the rest of the drink. In a mixing glass, soak the sugar cube with the bitters and muddle to crush the cube. Add the rye whiskey and stir. Discard the ice in the chilled glass. Rinse it with absinthe: Pour a small amount into the glass, swirl it around, then discard the liquid. Gently squeeze the lemon twist over the drink to release its essence. Traditionalists typically discard it and rarely drop it into the glass; lay it on the rim as a garnish if you like. Serve and enjoy.
