The BLT, A Summery Cocktail

Summer is here and it is getting hot outside. Hot enough to need a good summer cocktail. Last night, I tried out the BLT cocktail and it was definitely refreshing on a hot summer night outside on the patio, with the bourbon, lemon, and tonic water to cool you down. Today, I'm sharing the recipe with you, because I think you'll want to try it out! 

BLT Cocktail

The Recipe

The Tools

• Cocktail Glass
• Jigger
• Cutting Board
• Knife

The Ingredients

• 2 oz Bourbon
• Tonic Water
• Lemon
• Ice

The Method

Fill a cocktail glass with ice. Then, using the small side of the jigger, add 2 oz of bourbon to your cocktail glass. For this recipe, I am using Bulleit Bourbon. Next, top off the glass with tonic water and give it a stir. Finally add your lemon wedge and give it a final stir. 

It's that simple. 3 ingredients for a refreshing summer cocktail. If you want it to be a little bit more like a spiked lemonade, you could a some simple syrup, but it honestly doesn't need it. Some mint would go really well with this too.

Slainte!

I've been really enjoying whiskey cocktails lately. My favorites typically have lemon in them. This one is made with Johnnie Walker Black Label. I can't wait to try it out!

I always like to see new distilleries open their doors! It just means more whiskey for me to try!
