Politics means the business of the people. I wanted to honor our Revolutionary War heroes and founding fathers with bourbon.
In 1964 congress declared bourbon “America’s Native spirit” so of course it’s made in the USA and mostly in my birth state of Kentucky. We Kentuckians love our Bourbon especially in mint juleps during the derby, but I have created another great bourbon cocktail to enjoy and raise our spirits.
This drink would certainly be a favorite of congressional and White House staff—and perhaps even a few Supreme Court justices. It’s a revolutionary drink for all Americans—Republicans, Democrats, and Independents.
2½ ounces bourbon
1 ounce Borghetti Caffè Sport espresso liqueur
½ ounce Aperol
Large ice ball
Orange peel
Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add the bourbon, espresso liqueur, and Aperol. Cover and shake for 5 seconds. Strain into a rocks glass with a large ice ball. Garnish with a thumb-size piece of orange peel.
