Beauty in the Heat: Bourbon with a soft kick

This Bourbon cocktail is a perfect end of summer treat. This bourbon cocktail is light and bright and perfect for sipping. I love a simple bourbon drink that is perfectly strong!

Beauty in the Heat

Bourbon Cocktail

Ingredients

2 oz Bourbon

1 oz Simple Syrup

6 Mint Leaves (muddled)

Top with Tonic Water

Garnish: Lemon Wedge

If you aren't a big bourbon fan, I highly suggest adding a little lemon juice. This will break down the alcohol strength and also make it still delicious. Basically more of a bourbon lemonade.

Recipe: In a cocktail shaker, muddle mint leaves and simple syrup. Add ice then pour bourbon. Close and shake until cold. Strain into an old fashioned glass with a large ice cube. Garnish with a lemon wedge.
