Continuing our love of Bourbon Heritage Month, we’re going with a classic cocktail, revived with a modern recipe and a damn good bourbon. It features Basil Hayden’s bourbon and the recipe comes to us all the way from Louisville, KY a place that I think we can trust for good drinks. Check it out below and give it a try this weekend, or if you’re impatient make one tonight.
