Bourbon Brothers Basics - Bourbon Cocktails

Who loves a cocktail? I know I do, especially a delicious bourbon one! The magic of bourbon is that depending on what bourbon you use, your cocktail can take on a whole new flavour profile. 


Below I’ve given the recipe for three of my favourites.

If you have your own you’d love to share, please email and let us know, and perhaps I will add it to my next cocktail post!
