American as Bourbon

I have recently fallen victim to all of this patriotic giddiness surrounding the latest election of our new President-Elect.

Whether you voted for or against President Obama, let us all raise our glasses in support of America The Beautiful.

The only drink filling those glasses should be Bourbon seeing as

Bourbon is the Official Spirit of the United States of America.

Bourbon on the Rox is good for a quick buzz, but I would suggest something a little more palatable...The French 95 (French 75 with Bourbon instead of gin), here's the recipe:

1 oz. Bourbon
1/2 oz. simple syrup
1/2 oz. lemon juice
Champagne
- In a ice filled mixing glass add all except champagne
shake and strain into flute
top with champagne...Yummers!
