Ginger Grapefruit Bourbon Sour Recipe

 

Happy Friday friends! We have made it - the end of the second week of school. Honestly, a day or two ago, we didn't even think we would make it this far. We are on the struggle bus each morning trying to find the balance again of getting up early and being up late for activities. Not to mention that little word "delta" we keep hearing. 

But we aren't even going to talk about that. 

We have something a little southern we're mixing up today, and thought we'd share! August weather is not for the weak in the south. And neither are our cocktails. But this one is a little bit sweet and a little bit sour. Today we are mixing one of our favorite bourbons with one of our favorite citrus juices - Grapefruit Juice! Do you crave citrus when it's hot out too? 

We've got dinner plans tonight with friends, and thought this Grapefruit Ginger Bourbon Sour would be the perfect cocktail to share. 

Plus, consuming is kind of like doing our part. It has all that vitamin C and all, right? ;) 

GRAPEFRUIT GINGER BOURBON SOUR

- 1 Bottle of Indian River Grapefruit Juice (it is THE BEST!!!)

- 1 can of ginger beer

- 2 cups of bourbon

- 1/2 cup of lime juice

**add water or ice as needed

Directions

1: In a large pitcher pour grapefruit juice, ginger beer, and lime juice. Stir. 

2: Add in bourbon. Stir. 

3: Garnish as desired.

Today just wouldn't be right if we didn't share a yummy margarita recipe. But really, when aren't margaritas in season?! 

We've been known to share a twist on the original margarita a time or two, but this Orange Juice Margarita has been topping the list lately. Plus it's got all that extra vitamin C, and isn't that what the CDC is suggesting what we do with our lives right now.

Blue Hawaiian Drink Recipe

Last year a travel magazine asked us to create some content for their upcoming Summer issue. We came up with a fun Hawaiian theme, and had a huge spread within the publication. As part of our agreement with the magazine we couldn't publish the material on our own for one year. Now that that year has passed, we thought we'd share some of the yummy we created with you guys. 

The goal was to create bright, fun recipes that screamed "tropical paradise" - even if you were just creating a dinner for two in your backyard. Also staying true to our brand - we made these super easy. 

And with lots of alcohol. 

You're welcome. 

And since we all are wishing we were somewhere tropical right about now (thanks 2020!), we thought we'd share these throughout the next few weeks as we get into the heart of Summer.

First up - the Blue Hawaiian Drink. And you're being warned now. It's almost too good.

THE BLUE HAWAIIAN COCKTAIL RECIPE

Ingredients

- 1 oz coconut rum

- 2 oz pineapple juice

- 1 oz of Blue Curacao

- Optional garnish: pineapple slices

Directions

1: Fill glass with ice. 

2: Pour rum, pineapple juice, and Blue Curacao over ice. 

3: Stir well. 

4: Garnish with pineapple and enjoy!

Bourbon Apple Cider Recipe

Happy Monday friends! We're one and a half week's out from Christmas Day, the school activities are a plenty, and the to do list doesn't seem to be shrinking as fast as we want it to. Our brains are running on caffeine and Christmas carols. 

And cocktails. 

'Tis the season! 

Today we have a yummy drink recipe for you because in the South bourbon makes everything better. From cocktail parties to surviving those long lines at the mall - this Bourbon Apple Cider will get you through. 

It's a holiday favorite just because it gives us a break from all things peppermint and cranberry. It's light enough to not make you feel like you're on a pure sugar rush - we like to save that feeling for the 9,398 holiday cookies we tend to consume from Thanksgiving to New Years. Yet it still has that winter bite to it that makes sharing it during the holidays the perfect holiday party drink. 

Or, you know, the perfect one to consume while wrapping that palette of presents that arrives daily from Amazon. We'll let you decide. 

BOURBON APPLE CIDER RECIPE

Serves: 4
Prep Time: 5 mins
Total Time: 5 mins

INGREDIENTS

• 16 ounces of apple cider
• 8 ounces of bourbon
• 2 teaspoons of cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon of sugar
• 1 orange
• optional garnish: cinnamon, orange slice & spring of rosemary

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Combine cinnamon and sugar on a plate.
2. Cut an orange into wedge slices. Use wedge to wet the rim of the glass. Dip glass rim into sugar mixture. 
3. In a shaker mix cider and bourbon over ice. Stir to combine. 
4. Pour mixture into garnished glass over ice. 
5. Serve and enjoy!

Bourbon Black Raspberry Cocktail Recipe

This post is sponsored by Sparkling ICE but the content and opinions expressed here are my own.

Fall, tailgating, and all things football have been happening around here for almost two months now. We aren't mad about it one bit. This is the South and football season is the true season Southerners wait all year long for. And if things keep going the way it looks like for some of our favorite teams, we'll be enjoying football season well into the new year. 

And...

What goes better with Fall, tailgating, and football than a nice crisp cocktail? Better yet...a bourbon cocktail. Because, again, this is the South. Is a cocktail really a cocktail if bourbon isn't included? 

A few weeks ago we came up with this Bourbon Black Raspberry Cocktail recipe, and it's been on game day repeat ever since. It has just enough mixture of crisp and sweet, with that infamous bourbon bite. It also is pretty low on the calories and sugar thanks to one of our favorite multi-purpose ingredients. 

We love Sparking Ice sparkling waters, and drink at least one every single day. They come in tons of great flavors so there is always something for everyone, and they are naturally flavored with zero sugars added to them. Added to our carts lately has been this pink variety pack. 

Not only does it contain some of our favorite Sparkling Ice waters, we also have found they are a great go-to when it comes to crafting cocktails. Their flavorful taste has allowed us to eliminate the need to blend fresh fruits or grab a ton of different mixers. One Sparkling Ice water makes up for the same great taste for many drink recipes. Such a great bar hack, especially when we are tailgating and we don't want to pack our entire bar to set-up outside of our car. 

Give this recipe a quick try and see if you become a Sparkling Ice cocktail convert!

Bourbon Black Raspberry Cocktail Recipe

Serves: 2
Prep Time: 2 mins
Total Time: 2 mins

Ingredients

• 1 Bottle of Black Raspberry Sparkling Ice water
• 4 oz. of Bourbon (unless you're feeling a little more Southern, which in that case make it 6oz.)
• 1 oz. of lime juice
• optional garnish: sugar for rim, lime slices or raspberries

Instructions

• Measure and pour bourbon over ice cubes in a glass. 
• Add 1/3 of the bottle of Black Raspberry Sparkling Ice to the bourbon. 
• Stir slightly, garnish, and enjoy! 

Quick and easy cocktail drink for the win! 

The Bourbon Black Raspberry Cocktail isn't the only drink you can mix with Sparkling Ice waters. The Sparkling Ice website actually has a ton of great drink recipes! We've loved trying JJ's Tropical Fizz, and the Peach Nectarine Shandy.

We made some low calorie holiday cocktails that were a huge hit amongst holiday guests, and Carrie Beth also has an awesome Sparkling Spiked Peach Tea that is out of this world - both using Sparkling Ice waters.  

Check out the Sparkling Ice locator to see where you can find some to make your own tailgate worthy cocktails!  

Cheers friends!
