Just Peachy

Just Peachy

Zero-waste cocktails for the win! We teamed up with our friends at The Ugly Company to bring you a refreshing and flavorful peach cocktail that's twice as sustainable!

The Ugly Company upcycles ugly fruit and transforms it into packaged dried fruit snacks to reduce food waste. They are delicious out of the bag and perfect for an infused cocktail syrup alongside an upcycled spirit like Wheyward Spirit.

After making a delicious syrup and refreshing cocktail, use the peach pieces once more for a sweet treat.

‍

Upcycled Peach Syrup

¾ cup water

¾ cup sugar

2 oz The Ugly Company dried peaches

Combine water and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, occasionally stir to dissolve sugar, and simmer for about 8 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in peaches. Let cool and stir in an airtight jar in the fridge overnight. When ready to use, strain out fruit pieces and set them aside to make candied fruit. Store in an airtight jar in the fridge. Makes about 5 oz. of syrup. 

‍

Just Peachy Cocktail

2 oz Wheyward Spirit

1 oz Upcycled Peach Syrup

½ oz lemon juice

4 oz club soda

Mint leaves for garnish

Add Wheyward Spirit, syrup, and lemon juice to a shaker and shake with ice. Strain into a glass with fresh ice, top with club soda, and garnish with a fresh mint leaf. 

‍

Upcycled Candied Peaches

2 oz peach fruit pieces from homemade peach syrup

White sugar 

Take strained fruit pieces from syrup and lightly coat with sugar. Spread onto a baking sheet and bake at 250°F for 40-50 minutes or until the pieces start to harden, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Let dry then store in an airtight container at room temperature for a sweet, zero-waste snack alongside your cocktail.

Complex and sippable with natural flavor and body, our signature flavors are defined by oaky hints of vanilla and warm spice, followed by a velvety smooth finish.

Most people toss banana peels and overripe fruit straight in the trash, but both of these cocktails put that "past its peak" fruit to work, turning banana peels into a rich oleo and overripe bananas into a natural infusion, so nothing goes to waste from the fruit bowl to the glass.

Jimothy's Banana Nut Bread Manhattan

This cocktail is not just a drink; it’s a homage to Caravaggio’s "Basket of Fruit”. Each sip is like a brushstroke, lending the rich, dark sweetness of figs with the tartness of pomegranate, all grounded by Wheyskey’s warmth. The egg white adds a smooth, painterly texture, reminiscent of the way light plays across Caravaggio’s fruits.

Still Life With A "Basket of Fruit" Fizz

Cozy up by the fire with a Wheyward Toddy to warm your heart and your belly! Choose your cocktail adventure with the velvety smooth experience of Wheyward Spirit or Wheyward Wheyskey, both of which pair perfectly with the bright citrus juice and the earthy allspice dram.

Wheyward Toddy

Wheyward Wheyskey’s notes of vanilla oak and toffee pair perfectly with a rich coffee liqueur and hints of orange and cocoa bitters. The Wheyskey Revolution is our bespoke take on the Revolver, a variation on the classic Manhattan.

Wheyskey Revolution

The Hotel Wheyskey is our take on the tropical Hotel Nacional cocktail out of Cuba. This is a fruity riff on a classic daiquiri, made even more unique by using Wheyward Wheyskey to create a richer flavor in place of a traditional rum.

Our Ruby Milk Punch is just as much a journey in food science as it is mixology! This pre-batched and incredibly flavorful punch can be stored for weeks and quickly served for large groups. It is a beautiful color with a fruity brightness and complex tea undertones rounded out by a silky smoothness.


Ruby Clarified Milk Punch

Crisp, refreshing, and bubbly, our Whey Side Fizz is our go-to springtime cocktail for afternoons on the patio or a weekend brunch as fresh mint comes into season!


Whey Side Fizz

Pop the champagne! It’s time for a Wheyward Spirit twist on this celebratory classic. This sweet, citrusy, and bubbly drink is a favorite for brunch, easy to make, and perfect for any special occasion. The use of Wheyward Spirit helps cut the sugar in half from a classic French 75 and brings out the beautiful clover honey notes in the sparkling wine.

Wheyward 75

Streamline your cocktail creations with a Wheyward Spirit infusion! In the Whey Not Strawberry Sbagliato, frozen strawberries add a subtle sweetness to our smooth spirit, which pairs perfectly alongside Campari, vermouth, and a few ounces of bubbles.
