Glad you stuck around—now let’s make it worth your while.
As a thank‑you, here’s one of my favorite summer (or anytime you need a brain freeze) cocktails: Batched Bourbon Slushie. Scroll down for the details!
This is the kind of thing you can expect from me a couple times a month:
- Recipes that actually work (and don’t require hunting down weird stuff).
- Whiskey geek notes— details, techniques, and the occasional myth‑busting.
- Insider tips you won’t find in a generic cocktail roundup.
So bookmark this, pour a glass, and know your inbox is about to get a whole lot more spirited.
Cheers,
