Wheyward Spirit: Recipes

Wheyward Spirit takes an inventive approach to sustainable distilling by upcycling whey — a nutrient-rich byproduct of cheesemaking — into a smooth, versatile spirit. The result is a premium liquor that prevents food waste, supports dairy producers and reduces environmental impact. Founded by Emily Darchuk, the brand turns what’s often discarded into something remarkable, proving that creativity and circularity can raise the bar in spirits.

Its cocktail collection spotlights that same innovation, featuring recipes that highlight the spirit’s natural notes of vanilla, oak and spice. From fresh twists on espresso martinis to bright citrus-forward mixes, Wheyward’s recipes invite drinkers to explore new flavor dimensions while making a positive impact. It’s a toast to ingenuity — and to transforming waste into worth.
