Craft this decadent version of a Flip with notes of oaky vanilla, chocolate, rhubarb, fig, and nutty orange undertones in this cocktail made ultra creamy with the addition of a fresh egg yolk.

No Flipping Whey

Smash cocktails are classics for a reason -- evolving through the seasons and universally refreshing! Just like a mint julep is universally known, The Wheyward Smash is sure to be a future classic with its complex yet refreshing notes of black cherry, orange, and creamy vanilla from the addition of Wheyward Spirit.

Ranch Water

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

With an unconventional spirit comes an unconventional martini! Spice up your standard martini with a lemon and pepper-infused vermouth for a delicious and bespoke twist on a classic.

Martini Thyme

A riff on a Brazilian Lemonade, this creamy, dreamy blend is both refreshing and indulgent. Wheyskey adds a sophisticated touch with its depth, sweetened condensed milk introduces a creamy sweetness, passion fruit puree adds a bright contrast, and the egg yolk introduces a rich and luxurious flip element to the mix.  

Samba Flip

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

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

A bright, citrus-forward spritz that balances fresh lime, handcrafted grapefruit syrup, and a touch of Aperol for a soft, sunset-hued finish. Built on Wheyward Spirit's smooth, versatile base and topped with bubbles, it's a refreshing, easy-drinking cocktail for effortless enjoyment.
