About the recipe

The first edition in a long upcoming series of various bourbon mixed drinks I've never heard of. I am going to be pairing new cocktails with some interesting food pairings to see how they work together. This drink was an inspiration from my sister as she likes a little bit of fruit flavor to balance her whiskey. I tried to find some food that would work well with it and I ended up making some pretty amazing Tikka Masala seasoned hamburgers. I'll be linking that recipe as well for the full pairing. It came out amazing and they fed off each other beautifully. I'll go more into that in the recipe for the burgers but this

drink is a must try if you like Manhattans but find them a bit too citrusy.
