Freedom is infused in our spirits. Our namesake and pioneer whiskey connoisseur, Joseph A. Magnus, was known for his pre-prohibition persistence, and today our company is still based upon his rigor and passion for liberation.
We are grateful for our freedom and we want our spirits to help you celebrate yours. Enjoy these cocktail recipes on the 4th, and let freedom ring.
Gindependence & Tonic
Add some fruity, colorful patriotism to a classic gin & tonic.
- 2 oz Vigilant Navy Strength Gin

Fill a cocktail glass with ice cubes, frozen raspberries, and blueberries. Pour in the gin, and top off with tonic water.
New America, Old Fashioned
This sweet sipper is perfect for a hot 4th and patio parties.
- 2.5 oz Joseph Magnus Bourbon
- 1 tbs simple syrup
- 5 dashes bitters
- 2 peach slices
- 2 blackberries
- Sparkling water
In an old fashioned glass, combine the simple syrup, bitters, and one peach slice. Muddle these ingredients together to mix flavors and release the fruit juice. Add bourbon and fill with ice cubes. Toss in the blackberries, top off with sparkling water to the rim, and garnish with the remaining peach slice.

Easy to drink and cuts to the chase, another classic American cocktail.

In a cocktail shaker, combine the whiskey and sweet tea with ice cubes and shake until combined. Strain into a cocktail glass, squeeze a few drops of lemon juice on top, and garnish with the lemon wedge.
