Bluegrass Bourbon Slush
Even Santa will tell you that sometimes the best way to keep warm is actually with a nice cold cocktail. This bourbon slush recipe has been handed down through my family for generations. It achieves the perfect balance between sweet and sour and the bourbon will warm your tummy and your soul. It’s been a proven favorite at holiday parties for years – and that’s saying something given that people in the Bluegrass State can be a bit picky about their bourbon. So, put on some holiday music and have yourself a cup (or two) of cheer!
