Jackson Hole already knows how to pour a good whiskey drink. Now, Wyoming Whiskey has made it easier to turn that fact into an itinerary.
The brand’s Outlaw Elixirs guide brings together cocktails from restaurants and bars around Jackson and Teton Village, each built around Wyoming Whiskey and paired with food, scenery or a little après-adventure energy. The guide celebrates the creativity of local bartenders while leaning into the independent Western spirit behind the Wyoming-made whiskey itself.

Start in downtown Jackson
Around town, the lineup runs from familiar classics to drinks that take whiskey in a decidedly less predictable direction.
At Bin 22, the Ash & Mash combines Wyoming Whiskey Small Batch with Aperol, Chambord, lime juice, mezcal and soda water. The guide suggests pairing it with the restaurant’s charred mozzarella — or, charmingly, a first date.
Snake River Grill serves a Boulevardier Blanc made with Small Batch, Cocchi Americano Bianco, Suze, orange bitters and an absinthe rinse. It is paired with the restaurant’s bone-in Wagyu rib-eye, creamed oyster mushrooms and burgundy jus.
For something sweeter, Jackson Drug turns whiskey into the Buckaroo Buzz, a coffee-and-ice-cream cocktail finished with chocolate syrup and paired with the Classic Cowboy Smash Burger.
And traditionalists have plenty of options, too, from the Wyoming Manhattan at Gun Barrel to the Wyoming Mule at the Silver Dollar Bar and Grill and whiskey-forward creations at Local, The Bistro, Roadhouse and more.
Head out to Teton Village
The second half of the guide moves the whiskey trail toward Teton Village, with another collection of cocktails and pairings plus a dedicated map for finding your way between stops.
At Spur, the Shadow Mountain Totem blends Small Batch with lemon, house-smoked honey, aromatic bitters and activated charcoal, with a Spur Board recommended alongside it.
Over at Steadfire, Gunner’s 45 pairs Outryder with coffee liqueur, tobacco bitters and demerara, while the restaurant’s tableside Old Fashioned cart and dry-aged steaks make whiskey part of the full steakhouse experience.
Mangy Moose keeps things fittingly local with its MM Old Fashioned, made with sage simple syrup, orange and aromatic bitters, while the “Keeping It Local” flight offers four Wyoming Whiskey pours ranging from Double Cask to private-stock expressions.
And at Piste Mountain Bistro, the Smoked Peach Old Fashioned brings peach syrup, peach bitters and actual peach wood smoke into the mix, paired with a Snake River Farms Kurobuta pork chop.
Make it a whiskey crawl — responsibly
With stops stretching from downtown Jackson to Teton Village, Outlaw Elixirs works as both a cocktail guide and a reminder of just how much creativity is happening behind local bars.
Pick a few stops, order dinner along the way and discover what happens when Wyoming whiskey lands in the hands of Jackson Hole’s most fearless bartenders. Cheers!
