Drink of the Day: Gentleman’s Cocktail
Hope your Sunday is getting off to a good start. If it isn’t here’s a nice bourbon cocktail I think you will find fitting for a relaxing day.
The combination of creme de Menthe and brandy do well to compliment the bourbon, bringing out the inner flavors of the spirit due to calming down the bite of the whiskey. If you enjoy bourbon, and like to experiment on occasion, you must give this a try. For all you ladies out there: Don’t let the name of this steer you away. In fact, calling it a Lady’s Cocktail is fine with me if that will make you more comfortable.
Make this Sunday a fun day and take some time to enjoy what you want to do. Tomorrow’s another start to a work week, so you only have a limited amount of time to kick back and enjoy your day. The Gentleman’s Cocktail is the perfect treat to get you in the right state of mind.
Cheers!
