Maker's Mark Mochaccino

A serious snowstorm like the one we've experienced this week calls for a serious warm cocktail. I love mixing a spicy, wheated bourbon with chocolate. This one adds steamed milk to keep you warm and two rich shots of espresso for good measure.

  • 2 shots of espresso
  • 2 cups steamed steamed milk (or half and half)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 oz Maker's Mark

Pull 2 shots espresso. Add sugar and cocoa powder; stir well. Add Maker's Mark. Add milk, sprinkle with additional cocoa if desired.

Stay warm out there, y'all!

Kentucky Mule

A Kentucky twist on the beloved Moscow Mule cocktail!

I've discovered the perfect no fuss cocktail for fall.  The Kentucky Mule is so simple to make, yet tastes amazing and looks festive for cozy fall get-togethers.

Everything about this cocktail makes you think "Kentucky in a glass."
