An Old Fashioned
The Old Fashioned is perhaps the first Bourbon cocktail that springs to mind.
The greatest Old Fashioned cocktail, a traditional recipe in the world of whiskey drinking, is created with a premium Bourbon like Angel's Envy. Pour 60ml of Bourbon over 1/2 teaspoon sugar, 3 dashes Angostura bitters, 1 teaspoon water, and an orange peel for a sophisticated and straightforward drink that is both traditional and contemporary. Garnish with an orange peel.
A Bourbon Sour
The Bourbon sour, which combines tangy lemon with the distinctive depth of Bourbon and egg white to bring it all together, promises to awaken your taste senses in a matter of seconds. For the foundation of this drink, you should choose something flavorful and well-balanced, such Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon. Shake vigorously the following ingredients: 25 ml freshly squeezed lemon juice, 1 large egg white, 60 ml bourbon, and 25 oz simple syrup to make the cocktail. After pouring, add bitters to the top of a cocktail glass and serve.
A Bourbon Lemonade
Add some Bourbon to your childhood favorite beverage to take it to the next level.
The ideal summertime beverage is a Bourbon Lemonade, which is simple to prepare. If you want a drink that is strong and spicy with a distinctly smooth finish, Bulleit Bourbon is a terrific option. For an unbeatably delightful cocktail, mix 45ml Bulleit Bourbon with 120ml lemonade and serve on the rocks with a lemon slice.
A Manhattan
The renowned Manhattan is one drink that has never really left the craft cocktail revival. This cocktail is elegant and mellow with a hint of sweetness. It combines 60ml Bourbon, 30ml sweet vermouth, two dashes of Angostura bitters, and one dash of orange bitters into a smooth, simple-to-make beverage. We make ours with Woodford Reserve Double Oaked Bourbon for a drink that is full-bodied and smooth from beginning to end. Place a brandied cherry on top of the Coupe glass after straining all the ingredients.
