1. Maker’s Mark Ginger Ale Party Cocktail

Throw ice cubes into drinking glasses. Over these, pour 1 oz of Maker’s Mark bourbon whiskey along with a dash of grenadine and honey (or maple syrup) each. Fill the rest with ginger ale. Do not stir, since the fizz from the ale will slowly mix them all by itself.
(As a variation, you might as well use ginger beer instead of ginger ale.)
