Campfire Cream (For When the Midwest Gets Ridiculous)

Some cocktails try too hard. This one doesn’t. The South Bender is clean, refreshing, and built around what our Silver Sweet does best. Bright lime, crisp ginger, and smooth corn whiskey coming together in a way that just makes sense. It’s familiar, but unmistakably ours. No gimmicks. No overthinking.


What You Need:


  • 2 lime wedges

  • 2 oz. Indiana Whiskey Silver Sweet Corn Whiskey

  • 4 oz. ginger beer


What You Do:


  1. Fill a copper mug with ice.

  2. Squeeze the lime wedges directly into the mug and drop them in. No need to be precious about it.

  3. Add Silver Sweet and top with ginger beer.

  4. Give it a good stir and enjoy.


Sweet Option:

Swap with Peaches be Crazy for a refreshing and sweet option.


Low Cal Option (Because Balance Exists):

Swap in diet ginger beer and keep everything else the same.


The cocktail is easygoing, refreshing, and dangerously easy to order a second of. It’s the kind of drink that works whether you’re posted up at the bar, watching the game, or just unwinding at the end of the day. Simple, balanced, and exactly how a mule should be done.
