Kentucky 95 Cocktail
PUBLISHED ON: 12.13.2013
An American twist on the classic French 75 replacing cognac with bourbon. An easy elegant cocktail to add to your holiday festivities.
I am smiling. I put the glasses together for this photograph and obviously one of us had already began to enjoy the cocktail before I could get a proper photograph.

Bourbon is one of those great drinks that seems to work for both summer and winter.

It is hard to get our taste testers to wait patiently while photos are taken. The partially enjoyed cocktail just shows how delicious it is. 🙂
