The Wheyward Shirley

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.

The Wheyward Shirley

A Dirty Shirley is the cocktail of the summer, and it’s even better with a Wheyward Spirit twist!

This quintessential mocktail with an adult twist is a refreshing and vibrant warm weather staple, and an elevated upgrade from a standard soda mixer with some added nostalgia and a beautiful pink color.

‍

The Wheyward Shirley 

2 oz Wheyward Spirit
¾ oz Grenadine (we like this Masters of Mix grenadine for an easy to find option, or make your own using the recipe below!)
7 oz lemon-lime soda (like Sprite or 7-Up)
Garnish with a cherry and twist of orange peel

Pour Wheyward Spirit and grenadine over ice in a tall Collins glass. Top with lemon-lime soda and stir. Garnish with a cherry and an orange peel.

Looking for something a little less sweet? Try using less grenadine or swapping the soda for a lemon-lime flavored seltzer!

‍

Homemade Grenadine

2 cups pomegranate juice
2 cups sugar
1 tsp orange extract
5-6 dried hibiscus leaves (optional)

Heat and stir sugar and juice on the stove until boiling then remove from heat. Add hibiscus leaves (optional) and allow it to steep while cooling. Remove leaves once cool and store refrigerated. Add a splash of alcohol to the syrup to increase its shelf life.

This 2 ingredient classic gets a new life using the velvety smooth Wheyward Wheyskey alongside the crisp bite and subtle sweetness of a high-quality ginger ale.

Wheyskey Highball

We all love a glass of bubbly, but nobody likes pouring flat champagne down the drain! Our upcycled flat champagne syrup pairs beautifully with our velvety smooth Wheyward Spirit and fresh lemon to create a unique twist on the classic Bee's Knees cocktail.

We partnered with Sonoma Syrup Co. to craft a fall-inspired drink with their delicious White Ginger Syrup.. Our “farm-to-flask” spirit makes for a perfect pairing alongside this sustainably sourced, “Farm to Flavor” infused simple syrup.

White Ginger Negroni

Inspired by our Oregon roots, our Marionberry Basil Mule is a berry-filled take on a classic Moscow Mule, both sweet and herbal with a refreshing ginger kick. Shake up this cocktail for a summer treat when the temperatures start to rise.

Marionberry Basil Mule

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

Clarified milk punches date back to the 1600’s, but we think it’s a recipe that has finally come full circle with the addition of Wheyward Spirit. We love this cocktail because it’s just as much a journey in food science as it is mixology! This labor of love leads to a pre-batched and incredibly smooth flavorful punch that can be stored for weeks and quickly served for large groups. 

Our crystal clear Tropical Milk Punch is a beautiful color with a tropical brightness, cooling mint and green tea undertones, rounded out by a silky smoothness.

Travel to a tropical island when you shake up a Toucan Tango with Wheyward Spirit! Light and refreshing fruit juices pair perfectly with our smooth spirit, all topped off with a bold rum float.
