Here are the best Jack Daniel’s cocktails you should learn to make at home, from an Apple Jack Martini to a Honey Whiskey Mojito.
With a legacy that dates back to 1864, you could say that Jack Daniels knows a thing or two about making whiskey. For over 150 years, Jack Daniel’s has been crafting some of the finest whiskey in the world.
And while the Tennessee-based distillery is most commonly associated with its flagship Old No.7, it actually offers a variety of whiskeys, each with its unique flavor profile. 🥃
So, before we get to the recipes, it’s important to note that not all Jack Daniel’s whiskeys are created equal. Each expression has its characteristics and, as such, will work better in certain cocktails.
That said, whether you’re a fan of Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey or Gentleman Jack, there’s a cocktail recipe on this list that you’re sure to love.
From casual get-togethers to formal dinner parties, I’ve rounded up a few of my favorite Jack Daniel’s cocktails for any occasion. So, grab a bottle of your favorite Jack Daniel’s whiskey and get mixing.
There’s no better way to enjoy a glass of Jack than in one of these 19 delicious cocktails. I always reach for #17 when I’m in the mood for a creamy and indulgent dessert cocktail, so be sure to give that one a try.
Let’s start with a sweet and warming cocktail that’s meant for colder weather. This recipe features Jack Daniel’s Winter Jack Tennessee Cider and caramel sauce, making it the ideal drink to cozy up with when it’s cold out.
You can make bourbon caramel sauce or use store-bought caramel topping. Either way, this Winter Jack Warmer is sure to heat things up!
If you like the Moscow Mule, this Southern twist on the classic cocktail is for you. It swaps out the vodka for Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey and calls for a little fresh lime juice and ginger beer. The result is a refreshing, honey-sweetened cocktail that you can sip on all summer.
Prepare a batch for your next backyard BBQ or pool party, and enjoy!
Here we have a Southern staple with a boozy little surprise. Sweet tea is a must at any gathering in the South, and this recipe gives it a little kick with Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey.
Lemon juice and cola make for a refreshing twist on the classic sweet tea recipe, while the whiskey adds just enough buzz to keep things interesting. So, whether you’re serving this Tennessee Tea at a baby shower or summer cookout, your guests will surely appreciate it!
4. Jack & Coke
Wondering how to drink Jack Daniels with Coke? For this fizzy beverage, the ratio is vital. You don’t want too much Jack Daniel’s, or your blend will be too strong. But you also don’t want too much cola, or it will be too sweet. I like using equal parts whiskey and cola with a lemon wedge to brighten things up.
It’s a simple recipe, but it’s delicious and always a crowd-pleaser.
I like my cider with a slight kick to it, so I like that this recipe features Jack Daniel’s Fire. It’s a cinnamon liqueur that adds just the right amount of spice to this fall-inspired cocktail. Apple cider, lemon juice, and coconut sugar round out the flavors in this drink, making it the right balance of sweet, tart, and spicy.
Of course, you don’t have to wait for apple season to enjoy this cocktail—it’s delicious all year round!
When you hear martini, you probably think of gin. But let’s eschew this classic spirit and make a Jack Daniel’s martini instead. To do this, you’ll need to infuse your Jack Daniel’s drink with apple cider. The result is a smooth and slightly sweet cocktail you can cozy up with in an intimate gathering or enjoy at a rowdy party.
Cocktails are rarely mentioned in court, but legal history was made with this one. In the ’80s, Jack Daniel’s was taken to court for a $13 million lawsuit. Whatever the verdict was, the publicity surrounding the case put Lynchburg Lemonade on the map.
And rightfully so, because it’s a delectable mix that is truly greater than the sum of its parts. Revisit this oldie but goodie Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey & lemonade by mixing Jack Daniel’s, triple sec, lemon juice, and sugar. 🥃
8. Pepper Jack
You only need two ingredients for this next mixed refreshment: Dr. Pepper and Jack Daniel’s. It might sound strange, but this is truly a delicious combination. If you like cola and whiskey, then you’ll love this one too.
It’s just as fizzy, just as sweet, and just as strong.
This next one is for the daring and the bold. It’s a refreshing mix of sweet, sour, and spicy that will tantalize your taste buds. The jalapeño adds a nice kick while the honey and lemonade help to balance it out.
Who knows? This fun cocktail may just be what your summertime gatherings need.
10. Jack The Ripper
Throwing a Halloween party? Serve up this spooky libation that’s as festive as it is delicious. It’s the grown-up boozy mix that your inner child will love. So serve up this ghoulish beverage and enjoy a frightfully good time.
Anytime you’re feeling fancy, reach for this next cocktail. This one is smooth, woodsy, and best for sipping on a special occasion. There’s just something about the mix of sweet vermouth, aromatic bitters, and Jack that makes me feel like I’m transported to another time.
12. All Jacked Up
For a drink that sounds like it belongs in an old college mixer or a frat party, this one is surprisingly sophisticated. It’s a mouthwatering way to enjoy whiskey that will transport you to the islands–even if only for a moment. You can thank the pineapple juice and spiced rum for that.
Not to mention, the combination of Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey and Tennessee Whiskey is just pure gold.
One can never go wrong with a Moscow Mule, and this Jack-O-Lantern Mule is no exception. It’s better for sipping on while you carve pumpkins or watch horror movies. The ginger beer gives it a nice fizz, and the pumpkin spice makes it taste like fall.
But, of course, the Jack Daniel’s drinks price is what really makes this drink special.
14. Godfather No.7
Of course, I’d be remiss if I didn’t include a Godfather-themed drink in a list of Jack Daniel’s cocktails. With a combo of amaretto, whiskey, and cola, this is one beverage that will make you feel like the don of your own little world.
Mix this up during your next movie night or game night, and enjoy it while you plot your next move. You’re guaranteed to feel like a winner with this one.
15. Tennessee Coffee
More coffee, you say? This time, let’s shake things up with a little bit of Tennessee Whiskey.
It’s a fitting drink to enjoy on a lazy Sunday morning or after a big dinner. You’ll be wide awake and ready to tackle anything that comes your way. Just be careful not to have too many; this one packs a punch—like a Jack Daniel’s Downhome Punch, that is.
Jack Daniel’s aficionado or not, you’ll love this bold and flavorful twist on the usual Dark ‘N Stormy. It’s a simple drink to make, apt for sipping on while you watch the waves crash against the shore.
Not quite a vacation in a glass or even a Jack Daniel’s Old Fashioned but more a gloomy day pick-me-up. But we all have those days sometimes, so why not make the most of them with this tasty cocktail?
17. Jack Knife
This next cocktail is for the coffee lover in all of us.
It’s a spin on the classic Irish coffee but with Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7. Warm, rich, and slightly sweet–this indulgent treat might be the nightcap you didn’t know you needed. For more satisfaction at every sip, I like to top mine with a little bit of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon, but you can top it however you like.
A cool-down is in order after all that coffee, so here’s a refreshing blend made with Jack Daniels. This one’s an invigorating sipper that hits the spot on a hot summer day.
Drink this as a post-dinner dessert or enjoy it as an afternoon pick-me-up with friends. Your guests will be pleasantly surprised by this unique twist and ask you for the recipe.
If you’re a fan of minty drinks, then this next cocktail is for you. It’s a refreshing take on the classic mojito that’s made with Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey. The mint and honey come together to create a drink that’s both sweet and cooling.
The bottom line
The quintessentially American spirit, Jack Daniel’s, can be enjoyed in various ways. Whether you like your drinks sweet, spicy, or strong, there’s a Jack Daniel’s cocktail out there for you. So next time you’re looking to mix things up, reach for a bottle of Jack and try one of these recipes.
Every boozy occasion is about to get much more interesting for you and your friends! Have fun, and, as always, drink responsibly.
