## Cocktails
- [Blackberry Smash](https://marydowling.com/cocktail/blackberry-smash/): Introducing the Blackberry Smash, a cocktail that smolders the way Mary Dowling herself did — quiet on the surface, fire just beneath\. Built on the rich, caramel\-deep character of Mary Dowling's Double Oak Bourbon, this late\-summer pour folds together muddled blackberries, fresh lemon, and a whisper of smoked simple syrup, finished with a scorched rosemary sprig that releases its oils with every sip\. The blackberries bring jammy sweetness\. The lemon brings spark\. The rosemary smoke brings memory — of fields burned and rebuilt, of bourbon that survived to be poured again\. Sip slow\. Pour bold\. A toast to the women who turn fire into flavor\.
- [The Dowling Daisy](https://marydowling.com/cocktail/the-dowling-daisy/): Introducing the Dowling Daisy, a cocktail as bold and border\-crossing as Mary Dowling herself\. A bourbon twist on the original Daisy — the classic that gave us the modern margarita — this version is built on Mary Dowling's Tequila Barrel Bourbon, the high\-rye expression finished in tequila barrels in tribute to her Prohibition\-era flight to Juárez\. Fresh lime, chipotle\-infused agave, a single jalapeño slice, and a drop of mole bitters bring smoke, heat, and depth, finished with a Tajín\-rimmed coupe and a fresh wheel of lime and jalapeño\. It's spicy\. It's sophisticated\. It's a margarita with a Kentucky soul — and a fitting tribute to a woman who never met a border she couldn't cross\.
- [Mary's Winter Wheat Hot Toddy](https://marydowling.com/cocktail/marys-winter-wheat-hot-toddy/): Introducing Mary's Winter Wheat Hot Toddy, a cocktail as quietly defiant as the woman it honors\. Built on the smooth, toasted depth of Mary Dowling's Winter Wheat Bourbon — wheated softness, golden honey, and the gentle spice of toasted oak — this warming drink folds together fresh lemon, raw honey, and a whisper of cinnamon into something both medicinal and luxurious\. Steeped slow, finished with a curl of citrus and a sprig of cinnamon bark, it's the kind of pour that turns a cold night into a quiet ceremony\. Made for the long evenings, the slow conversations, and the women who never minded the wait\.
- [Winter Wheat Egg Nog](https://marydowling.com/cocktail/winter-wheat-egg-nog/): Introducing Mary's Heirloom Eggnog, a cocktail as warm and generous as Mary Dowling herself\. Crafted with the smooth, toasted character of Mary Dowling's Winter Wheat Bourbon, this rich, velvety nog folds together fresh egg, cream, and a whisper of vanilla — softened by the wheated bourbon's golden honey and gentle oak\. Hand\-shaken until frothy and finished with freshly grated nutmeg, it's a tribute to the kind of recipes that get passed down — not because they're easy, but because they're worth the time\. Pour one for the family\. Save one for yourself\. A toast to legacy, served velvety and slow\.
- [Elegant Solution](https://marydowling.com/cocktail/elegant-solution/): A bold and intriguing twist on the classic Black Manhattan that marries the rich, oaky depth of Mary Dowling Double Barrel bourbon with vibrant Mexican flavors\.  The Elegant Solution is a sophisticated cocktail that offers a unique blend of classic and contemporary, perfect for those who appreciate a Manhattan with an adventurous twist\.
