Preparing for the bourbon tasting at home tomorrow with sweet and savory items from Green Bean Delivery, Capital Bee Company, and Willett Bourbon.
Completely inspired by the lovely folks at Southern Living Magazine with my dearest friend and photog, Anna May!
Since my husband is quite the bourbon guy these days, I didn’t “ruin” the bourbon with a lot of simple syrup and mint… just added a little of both. I “smacked” the mint before garnishing a cocktail because it releases that lovely minty aroma. Obviously, muddling mint in a drink releases its refreshing smell and flavor but again, I couldn’t “ruin” the greatness that Willett has so it rested upon the ice instead.
Cheers to you and yours this Derby weekend! If you drink, please don’t drive! Instead catch an Uber, Lyft, taxi, your mom, your bestie, or someone that you trust. Life is too precious to risk!
