NEW YORK, Feb. 18, 2026 — On The Rocks™ Bartender Created Cocktails, a leader in bar-quality ready-to-serve cocktails, is expanding its portfolio with the launch of the On The Rocks™ Jim Beam® Whiskey Sour. For the first time in its decade-long history, the brand is introducing a cocktail crafted with the heritage and quality of the world's No. 1 bourbon, Jim Beam. This ready-to-serve whiskey cocktail is now available nationwide as a permanent offering, delivering a perfectly balanced blend of caramel, citrus, and warm spices—everywhere the bartender isn't.
Crafted for bottling by On The Rocks Global Ambassador and expert mixologist Joaquín Simó, the On The Rocks Jim Beam Whiskey Sour captures the unmistakable smoothness and bold flavor of Jim Beam bourbon. Simply pour over ice and garnish with an orange wheel skewered with a maraschino cherry for an elevated, bar-quality cocktail experience.
"The whiskey sour is such an iconic American cocktail, and what better whiskey to make it with than the most iconic American bourbon," said Simó. "The classic version is known for being perfectly balanced, and our On The Rocks Jim Beam Whiskey Sour delivers just that: bright citrus, warm caramel, and subtle sweetness to round it out. Each sip invites you into the traditional world of bourbon making while delivering a modern spin."
"For more than two centuries, Jim Beam has been making bourbon the way it should be," said Freddie Noe, eighth-generation Master Distiller for the James B. Beam Distilling Co. "Our mellow notes and approachable flavor are what bourbon lovers come to expect—and what makes Jim Beam so perfect in cocktails. On The Rocks Jim Beam Whiskey Sour captures everything a cocktail crafted with Jim Beam should be: bold, balanced, and timeless."
On The Rocks Jim Beam Whiskey Sour is available now nationwide in 375 mL and 750 mL ready-to-serve bottles at 20% ABV. SRP: $12.99 (375 mL) and $24.99 (750 mL). For additional information about On The Rocks, visit the brand's website or follow On The Rocks on social media.
About On The Rocks™ Bartender Created Cocktails
On The Rocks Bartender Created Cocktails was founded in 2015 when a group of restaurateurs and award-winning bartenders left the world of fine dining and set out to create a line of craft-made, ready-to-serve bottled cocktails using premium natural flavors—from recipe to manufacturing. The founders sought to pioneer elevated beverage options for experiences and places where a bartender is not available, meeting the growing demand for convenience without compromising quality.
On The Rocks established itself early in the field with premium collaborations in the airline and hotel industries. Life doesn't wait for the bar; some moments call for a complex drink in an unconventional setting. On The Rocks was crafted to rise to the occasion and bring the bar to you. On The Rocks bottled cocktails are currently available nationwide in popular expressions including The Blue Hawaiian, The Cosmopolitan, The Espresso Martini, The Jalapeño Pineapple Margarita, The Margarita, The Lemon Drop Martini, The Old Fashioned, The Strawberry Daiquiri, and The Whiskey Sour. The portfolio also features a range of On The Rocks canned cocktails, including Cucumber Lemongrass Mule, Mango & Mint Mojito, and Sparkling Lime Margarita.
