🥃 National Cocktail Day is March 24! 🥃
We teamed up with Heather Wibbels @cocktail_contessa to explore how barrels shape the flavors we love in cocktails. From smoky Old Fashioneds to rich Manhattans, Heather shares pro tips for crafting bourbon-forward drinks at home.
🔥 Try these barrel-inspired recipes:
🥃 Smoked in Oak Old Fashioned – A bold twist with smoked sugar syrup & orange bitters.
🍁 Maple Vanilla Sour – A smooth, spiced sipper with cinnamon-vanilla syrup.
🌑 Dark Quarter Manhattan – A deep, complex blend of rye, amaro & maple.
