From the Publisher

THE FIRST ROUND'S ON US:

"THE OLD-FASHIONED"

A proper Old-Fashioned shouldn't include anything other than sugar, bitters, whiskey, and maybe a garnish.

HOW TO MAKE IT:

1. Drop a sugar cube into a rocks glass and cover with 3-4 dashes of Angostura bitters and 1-2 dashes of water. Crush with a muddler or wooden spoon.

2. Add ice, and 2.5 ounces bourbon. Stir well.

3. Strain into an empty rocks glass and garnish with lemon peel.

"THE SEELBACH"

In the 1990s, a Louisville bartender claimed to have found a lost recipe named for the famous Seelbach Hotel in which he worked. Turns out, he’d invented the drink and the story himself, but it's a great drink and a great story, so.

HOW TO MAKE IT:

1. Mix 1 ounce of bourbon, 1/2 ounce triple sec, 7 dashes Angostura bitters, and 7 dashes Peychaud’s bitters over ice. Stir well.

2. Strain into a champagne flute.

3. Top with 4 to 5 ounces brut sparkling wine and garnish with an orange twist.

"STRAWBERRIES IN DECEMBER"

Making fruit preserves lets you capture summer in a jar, but what if you could add that same feeling to a cocktail?

HOW TO MAKE IT:

1. In a cocktail shaker (no ice), shake up 1 generous barspoon strawberry preserves, 2 ounces bourbon, 3/4 ounce balsamic syrup, and 1/2 ounce orange juice.

2. Add ice and shake 10 seconds more, then strain into a rocks glass with fresh ice.

3. Top with 2 ounces club soda and garnish with orange peel.

Title: Great book!
Review: After a friend mixed some drinks for us out of this book I had to have my own copy. We drink a fair amount of bourbon, so this is super fun to find new, easy and tasty ways to enjoy it. Most of the ingredients aren't super hard to come by, which is nice, too. If you like bourbon and cocktails, this book is for you.

Title: Funny story about this little book...
Review: I got this as a stocking stuffer for my husband and forgot to give it to him. He found it in my gift hiding spot and was super excited to receive it from me. But christmas came and went and he never got it. He did not realize that I forgot about it. He thought maybe that I had gotten it for someone else. So he would sneak into the gift hiding spot and steal recipes from it and would not tell me where he learned such a yummy bourbon recipe from. After six months on Father's day, he could not take it any more. "Who is the bourbon cocktail recipe book for?!!" I did not know what he was talking about so he went and grabbed it. I had totally forgotten about it, forgot to give it to him and he still managed to use it and enjoy it.

Title: Fun gift idea
Review: This is a great book, but some of the ingredients are really obscure or expensive and are only used in one recipe. I wish there was more ingredient overlap so I didn’t have to buy so much stuff to make a few different drinks.

Review: This Big Book is very entertaining to read beginning with the introduction to each cocktail and then followed with clear and concise recipes. Over the years I've amassed dozens of books on the art and craft of mixing cocktails and consider myself well read on the subject and with that background I rate The Big Book of Bourbon Cocktails as one of the best in my collection and one where 99% of the recipes appeal to me.
