Pair it with the Brekkie Bowl at Healthy Being Café & Juicery

Lunch at Hayden’s Post
Pairing: Baja Style Fish Tacos with the Blackberry Bourbon Smash
At Hayden’s Post, the Blackberry Bourbon Smash combines Wyoming Whiskey with blackberries, mint, lemon juice, and agave for a whiskey drink that’s surprisingly light and refreshing. Meanwhile, when paired with the fish tacos, the fresh and citrusy flavors of the cilantro slaw complement the lemon juice and mint of the cocktail.

Happy Hour at The Kitchen
Pairing: Tuna with the Paper Plane
When ordering The Kitchen’s Paper Plane, a cocktail that includes Wyoming Whiskey, Aperol, Montenegro and lemon, you’ll want to pair it with something from the raw bar. The tuna in particular, served with truffle ponzu, pickled avocado sesame, jalapeno and rice crisp, would pair well with the citrusy and slightly bitter notes of the Paper Plane. The acidity of the lemon in the cocktail complements the fresh fish, while the Aperol and Montenegro add depth. Enjoy this pairing during happy hour: Tuesday – Sunday from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m., for half off drinks.
Dinner at Glorietta Trattoria
Pairing: Mezze Rigatoni SRF with the Long Ryder
Glorietta’s Mezze Rigatoni SRF includes a hearty meat sauce of braised pork ragu over noodles with pancetta and percorino. This rich is well-matched with the bold and layered profile of the Long Ryder, a cocktail that includes Wyoming Whiskey’s Outryder, Montenegro house red vermouth blend, aged sake, green chartreuse, charred cedar and currant bitters. The richness of the ragu stands up to the whiskey and vermouth, while the aged sake and chartreuse add a touch of elegance.
Dessert at Calico Bar + Restaurant
Pairing: House Old Fashioned with Bailey’s Irish Cream Cheesecake
Whether you’re concluding a meal or skipping straight to dessert, in this pairing the creamy, rich texture and slight sweetness of the cheesecake harmonize with the bourbon’s caramel and vanilla notes in the Old-Fashioned. Plus, the Bailey’s Irish Cream adds a smooth, coffee-like depth that pairs well with the bitters and the complexity of the whiskey.
Pair it With Anything: The Mangy Moose’s Whiskey Flight
Why have one when you can try them all? That’s the spirit in which the Wyoming Whiskey flight was added to the menu at the Mangy Moose. Pours include Wyoming Whiskey’s small batch, Outryder, Mangy Moose Private Stock, and the Mangy Moose Private Stock Case Strength. Given that these variations have a range of expressions, each with a unique flavor profile, you’d be hard-pressed to be wrong about any pairing. The variety here makes it more likely that the whiskey will complement a number of dishes.
