Alright, let’s talk about some good ol’ bourbon cream drink recipes. You know, the kind that warm ya up inside and make ya feel all fuzzy. I ain’t no fancy bartender or nothin’, just a regular person who likes a good drink now and then. So, don’t expect no fancy words or measurements, I just pour and taste till it feels right, ya know?
First up, let’s make somethin’ simple, a Bourbon Hot Toddy. This one’s good for when you got a cold or just feelin’ a bit chilly.
- You take a shot or two of bourbon, whatever you feel like.
- Then, a spoonful of honey, the real stuff if ya got it.
- Squeeze in a bit of lemon juice, maybe half a lemon or so.
- Pour in some hot water, not too much, just enough to fill up your mug.
- Stir it all up real good, and there ya go! A nice hot drink to warm ya up from the inside out. You can throw in a cinnamon stick if you’re feeling fancy.
Next, let’s try somethin’ a bit more… festive, I guess you could say. We’ll call it a Cranberry Rosemary Shrub Cocktail, even though I ain’t exactly sure what a “shrub” is in this case. Sounds like somethin’ from the garden, but who am I to judge?
For this one, you gotta do a little bit of prep work ahead of time, but it’s worth it, trust me. You gotta make this cranberry stuff.
- Take a bunch of cranberries, like a cup or two, and boil ‘em in some water with some sugar, maybe half a cup or so.
- Let it simmer for a bit, till the cranberries burst and it gets all syrupy-like.
- Then, you take some rosemary, you know, that spiky green stuff, and throw it in there too.
- Let it sit for a while, maybe an hour or so, to get all the flavors mixed up.
Once that’s done, you can make your drink.
- Take a shot of bourbon, or maybe two if you’re feelin’ frisky.
- Pour in a bit of that cranberry-rosemary stuff you made.
- Add a little bit of somethin’ bubbly, like soda water or ginger ale, whatever you got on hand.
- Stir it up, and there you have it! A fancy-lookin’ drink that tastes mighty fine.
Now, if you really wanna impress folks, or just treat yourself, you can make somethin’ called a Christmas Kentucky Buck. I ain’t sure why it’s called a “buck,” maybe it kicks like a mule, I dunno. But it sure is tasty.
- You start with a shot or two of bourbon, see a pattern here?
- Then, you squeeze in some lime juice, maybe half a lime.
- Add a splash of somethin’ called bitters, I found some at the store, it’s kinda bitter, like the name says, but it adds somethin’ special.
- Top it off with ginger beer, not ginger ale, there’s a difference, ya know. Ginger beer is spicier.
- Stir it up gentle-like, and if you’re feeling extra fancy, you can throw in some cranberries or a lime wedge for decoration. Makes it look all purdy.
Last but not least, let’s talk about plain ol’ Bourbon Cream. Now, you can buy this stuff at the store, but it’s easy enough to make at home, and it tastes a whole lot better, if you ask me.
Here’s how I do it:
- Take a can of sweetened condensed milk, you know, that thick, sweet stuff.
- Pour it in a bowl.
- Add in some bourbon, about a cup or so, depending on how strong you want it.
- Stir it all up real good, till it’s nice and smooth.
- You can add in a little bit of vanilla extract if you want, or even some cocoa powder, if you like that chocolatey taste.
- Pour it in a jar or a bottle, and keep it in the fridge.
This sweet and creamy bourbon cream is delicious in coffee or hot cocoa, and you can pour it over ice cream or just drink it straight up over ice. It’s good stuff, let me tell ya.
So there ya have it, a few bourbon cream drink recipes from a regular person who likes a good drink. Nothin’ fancy, just good ol’ fashioned drinks to warm ya up and make ya feel good. Now go on and try ‘em out, and let me know what ya think. But remember, drink responsibly, ya hear? We don’t want no trouble.
