Happy Monday, Friends! Today I’m guest posting over at one of my favorite blogs, Tasty Yummies! My girl Beth has been hustling like crazy to get her yoga teaching certification and invited us over to host a little party in her absence. Well, while Beth works on her epic yoga arms, I say we go ahead and pour ourselves a cocktail. Good.
So I have this thing for bourbon. It just happened one day. I woke up and my taste buds were swapped out with those of a Southern gentleman. Have you ever seen the movie Freaky Friday? Kind of like that except instead of swapping whole bodies, we only swap tongues. So essentially we’ve created a super gross film that no one should ever watch EVER. Cool.
But really, I’ll put bourbon on your roasted carrots, I’ll get wild and put it in your BBQ sauce. I’ll make you cocktail after cocktail where bourbon is the star player. So, is it any wonder that when I suddenly got a mad craving for a mojito (as one totally does), that I swapped out the traditional rum for some belly-warming bourbon? No. The answer is no.
This cocktail is equal parts getting a tan in Mexico on Spring Break and sitting on the back porch, playing blackjack while sipping bourbon with your Grandpa. Essentially it’s like partying with your Grandpa on Spring Break… but in a totally non-creepy and extremely awesome way. Put on your board shorts, Gramps. Grab some mint. We’re going to the beach.
Have I told you recently how much I love your photography? So stunning. So so stunning. Once I’m done with the 21DSD, I’ll be making this to celebrate!
You’re so sweet Donyel! Thank you. <3 And heck YES! You will have totally earned at least two of these after your 21DSD!
I just said the exact same thing to my hub. “As soon as I’m done with the 21DSD, this is happening.” He said YES.
As a born and bred Kentuckian, I just love to see people discover bourbon and discover new ways to drink it! Thanks for the recipe!
So I recently stumbled across your website and um, I’m kinda in love with you. I even told my husband to expect divorce papers. To which he said, “Again?”
On a mildly more serious note, I am so happy to have found the equivalent of my evil twin posting paleo recipes on the interwebs.
Aw. Thanks, Katy! I’m so glad that you’re here. 😀
