Since today is Superbowl Sunday and a majority of people will be gathering
around a TV with their favorite cocktail in hand, I thought it would be a great
time to share some of my favorite whiskey drinks. Now I don’t want any ladies
being frightened by this post, it is dedicate to people with a lighter pallet –
or someone who normally wouldn’t enjoy whiskey on the rocks.
Personally, I love a good whiskey drink in the fall and
winter months. There is just something about the bold oak taste that goes
perfectly with the season!
So lets get started with a drink that changed my entire viewpoint on whiskey…
(Drum roll please)

So this recipe is very similar to a classic Manhattan but
uses Benedictine to lighten up the taste even more. A Manhattan uses vermouth
and bourbon to produce a strong bold flavor, so I love how the Benedictine and
absinthe balance out this drink.
And now for something a little lighter, with a hint of OJ. I find that this drink is perfect to order out since there is no way of really messing it up, ya know?
So now that I have given you all ideas on whiskey drinks to
try when you’re out on the town, I would love to what drinks converted you to
the “dark side”! Check out Whiskey Women for more inspiration! http://www.thewhiskeywomen.com
I would like to try the first one!
ReplyDeleteThis looks pretty good. I don't usually do mixed drinks, but I might give this a try.
ReplyDeleteI do love a good Manhattan once in a while so I am intrigued by De La Louisiane. And I too am getting sick of Vodka and Cranberry! Love your blog.
ReplyDeleteWhiskey is the way to a mans heart! Your blog posts have inspired me to drink. If problems occur, I am placing the blame on you and your blog!!! On a serious note, very cool blog! I'm usually a Jack and Coke kinda guy, but I'll give some of these mixed drinks a try sometime. Thanks Melissa!
