Bourbon Whiskey Cocktail Recipe

Kentucky bourbon and Tennessee whiskey have quite a lot in common. Both made from a mash of at least 51 percent corn, they are also both aged in charred oak barrels, which results in them having a mild, smoky-sweet character. A few of our favorite bourbon whiskey cocktail recipes are listed below:
