  • About

In North Dakota, rugged independence and a taste for strong spirits come together in this bold cocktail. Drawing on the state’s love for whiskey—especially Canadian imports from across the northern border—this drink mixes bourbon, whiskey, peach liqueur, and Coca-Cola for a bracing, no-frills cheer to North Dakota’s frontier spirit.

Ingredients

  • 1 ounce Canadian whiskey, such as Crown Royal
  • 1 ounce Jack Daniel’s whiskey

Method

Fill a pint glass with ice. Add the Canadian whiskey, Jack Daniel’s, Wild Turkey, and peach liqueur. Top with Coca-Cola and gently stir. Garnish with a peach slice or lemon wheel (if using) and serve.
