Two Summer Bourbon Cocktail Recipes To Try

I am excited to work with our sponsor, Coopers’ Craft, to share these recipes with you!

Last week, I attended a South Florida Bloggers Happy Hour at the Deck Bar in Wynwood. We were celebrating the launch of the new Coopers’ Craft expression, Barrel Reserve. The latest expression is a bolder and more robust 100 proof spirit compared to the original Coopers’ Craft – a gentle and light bourbon.

We enjoyed a few refreshing bourbon cocktails and they were delicious. I am sharing two of the cocktail recipes with you below in case you’re planning a get together and want to show off with a new tasty cocktail.

I also got to try a bourbon lemonade slushie during the event. It was my favorite drink of the evening because I love anything that is both sweet and sour. Alas, I was not able to get my hands on that recipe, but we can enjoy looking at it.
