This being winter, the warming cocktails are more on my mind. So Kentucky bourbon it is! This is a nice and simple cocktail that you can enjoy while watching an early winter sunset or admiring your first lily bloom of the season. In this cocktail I used a small batch bourbon called "Bird Dog". I have to admit, I tried it because I love bird dogs and the dog on the label reminded me of my German Shorthaired Pointer a bit. To my delight, it turned out to be a lovely bourbon that I plan to keep in the barmoire cabinet for cool night nips.
To build this cocktail with a shaker 1/3 filled with cracked ice add:
4.5 oz good quality bourbon
1.5 oz Dry Curacao (I used Pierre Ferrand)
1 oz fresh squeezed lemon juice
4 oz apple juice (I used an organic Gravenstein juice)
Rub the inside rim of two cocktail glasses w/pinched lemon rind. Rim w/brown sugar. Shake and strain into cocktail glasses. Makes two drinks.
Cheers!
