For me, there’s nothing more refreshing in the summer heat than a cocktail. Not being a beer drinker, I gravitate towards the spirits and mixers, and enjoy a sweet-tasting cocktail or two.
Today, using the whiskey glasses that Deadwood Cabins kindly gifted me, I decided to make my first ever bourbon-based cocktail. Admittedly, my first attempt was a complete disaster as I didn’t have all the necessary ingredients and decided to swap things about which didn’t end well (curdled cream-based liqueur)! But then I landed on gold with my second attempt and a completely different recipe, and created the most delicious cocktail that I’m proud to share with you all.
RECIPE:
2 parts bourbon (I used Dixie Pete’s Kentucky Bourbon)
1 part lemon juice
1 part sugar syrup (created by gently heating caster sugar and water on a 2:1 ratio)
1 dash cloudy apple juice
Ice cubes
2 slices of an apple
TO MAKE:
1 – Shake your bourbon, lemon juice and sugar syrup together in a cocktail mixer.
2 – Pour over ice in a whiskey glass (like this gorgeous whiskey glass set that I used from deadwood Cabins).
3 – Top up with a dash cloudy apple juice.
4 – Decorate with one or two slices of apple.
5 – Sip and enjoy!
