What Else You Can Make in Your Copper Moscow Mule Mug: The Bourbon Whiskey Buck

October 28, 2015 by evebushman

Instead of a Moscow Mule in that copper mug…here’s another thought, with a recipe from the 12-Bottle Bar book: The Bourbon Whiskey Buck. (Read the section on the Buck Bar to see what I’m talking about.)

A simple move from flavorless vodka to a smoky bourbon, and changing out the lemon for orange or lime, adds a much more distinctive flavor.

The Bourbon Whiskey Buck

1. FILL ¾ OF YOUR GLASS WITH CRUSHED ICE.

2. SELECT YOUR FAVORITE SPIRIT ( We like Buffalo Trace Bourbon.) AND ADD ONE TO TWO SHOTS (OUNCES).

3. PICK YOUR FRUIT, SQUEEZE ½ INTO GLASS. IF YOU’RE NOT A WIMP PUT SPENT RIND IN GLASS.

4. TOP WITH GINGER BEER.

5. STIR AND SERVE.
