A nutty Kentuckian isn’t hard to find and you know who you are, but today I’m talking about a sweet nightcap.
Mint Julep
The Kentucky Derby, a national holiday, occurs on the first Saturday each May, The Mint Julep is it’s signature drink.. Schools, Many institutions are closed for Derby Day as they should be. Amen.
Star Hill Date ‘N Honey Cocktail
The Star Hill Farm Date ‘N Honey Cocktail celebrates my love affair with Maker’s Mark and bourbon. Garnish with a fresh blackberry for a perfect happy hour!
Chocolate Orange Manhattan
Nothing pairs with bourbon like orange and chocolate. Infusing those flavors into a manhattan makes a transcendent cocktail.
Vieux Carre’
As cocktails go, the Vieux Carre’ is a relative youngster compared to many of the classics. Pronounced voo-ka-RAE, the name literally translates as “old square”, which we know today as the French Quarter.
Manhattan
The Manhattan is the perfect cocktail because it has endless subtle variations and yet remains true to it’s traditional roots.
The Julian Van Winkle Old Fashioned
The origin of the Old Fashioned lies somewhere in the murky past, between 1860 and 1880. Some give credit to the Pendennis Club in Louisville, Kentucky.
