R
ock & Rye was one of the most popular drinks of the 19th century and a
staple in every bar and saloon. The drink predates even the earliest cock-
tail guides, so no one can say who made the first Rock & Rye cocktail.
Early versions were simply rye whiskey served over a chunk of rock
candy or mixed with rock candy syrup — hence the “rock” in rock & rye.

Before long, bartenders were customizing the Rock & Rye in all sorts of ways
with additional flavors such as citrus, dried fruit, ginger, spices, etc. The cock-
tail’s popularity continued to grow into the early 20 th century and was a staple
of any well-rounded bar menu of the time. After Prohibition you could still
find a good Rock & Rye but as bourbon supplanted rye as the preferred Amer-
ican whiskey, the Rock & Rye lost its place at the bar to its more highbrow
cousins, the Old Fashioned and the Manhattan. Despite, or maybe because of,
the fact that many Rock & Rye brands continued to be sold during Prohibition
as “medicinal preparations” the drink eventually became thought of as a toddy
your grandmother made to treat a sore throat or cold.
With the rise of vodka during the 50s and 60s the
Rock & Rye completely slipped from most back
bars and was all but lost to cocktail culture.
Fast forward to today and the craft spirits revo-
lution. Classic cocktails are everywhere, as are
seemingly unlimited new drink creations. Crater
Lake Spirits, already known for producing
distilled spirits with deep historical roots,
pulls from the many original Rock &
Rye recipes to create a contemporary
version of the classic drink. The Crater
Lake Rock & Rye combines their rye
whiskey with rock candy, dark cherries,
bloody orange and bitters. The result is a
cocktail that could have easily been or-
dered at any pre-Prohibition bar. Crater
Lake’s modern reboot can be enjoyed
right out of the bottle, over ice or maybe
with a splash of soda water. The Rock &
Rye is a tasty, uncomplicated drink that
is full of history and equally at home in
the local corner bar, around the campfire
or on the tailgate. With this in mind,
Crater Lake offers their Rock & Rye
in both 750ml bottles and lightweight,
unbreakable plastic flasks.
