Whiskey Network has long celebrated the art of the cocktail. We think that they are a ritual, a revelation, and a reflection of the spirits we hold dear. From the smoky depth of a well-aged bourbon to the bright bite of rye, our bespoke creations have honored whiskey’s versatility while embracing the full spectrum of mixology. Over the years, we’ve featured timeless classics that whisper of tradition, bold new concoctions that defy expectation, and everything in between. Each recipe has been a tribute to the craft, a nod to the bartenders and creators who understand that a great cocktail is equal parts precision and poetry.
Our archives are rich with stories told through glassware and garnish. We’ve explored the seasonal, the regional, the experimental. These creations evoke memory, mood, and moment. Whether it’s a smoked old fashioned served with a twist of nostalgia or a citrus-forward highball that sings of summer, our resident mixologist has approached each pour with reverence and imagination. These drinks have graced dinner tables, speakeasy counters, and backyard fire pits, always carrying the signature of Whiskey Network’s commitment to flavor, storytelling, and the joy of discovery.
Vicki Higginson is a force of nature behind the bar. She’s a spitfire with a sharp edge of creativity and a palate that doesn’t miss. Her cocktail creations are more than drinks; they’re visual and sensory experiences, dressed to impress and layered with intention. Whether she’s crafting a smoky whiskey number with a dramatic garnish or a bright, citrus-forward stunner that catches the light just right, Vicki brings an artist’s eye and a rebel’s heart to every pour. She’s never one to back down from a challenge, and her work consistently delivers bold flavor, stunning presentation, and a touch of the unexpected. We’re lucky to have her talents at Whiskey Network, where her fearless approach and magnetic style continue to elevate our cocktail tradition.
We’d like to make sure that all of you take a moment to get to know her. So, this month we’re going to be featuring her cocktails as tribute. We hope you enjoy the tasty rewind, and are ready to tackle make her creations in your own bar.
Finally, we look ahead. This month marks yet another new chapter in our cocktail journey, one led by a writer whose creations are as thoughtful as they are thrilling. Expect unexpected pairings, elevated riffs on the familiar, and a continued celebration of the spirits we love. The future of cocktails at Whiskey Network is bright, bold, and brimming with possibility… and we can’t wait to raise a glass to what’s next.
Cheers, Vicki!
