This one goes out to the man I sleep next to, and sometimes with. (Hehehehe) While I do enjoy a Bourbon Cocktail, Kyle is the real Bourbon enthusiast in the family. We were having a couple over for drinks at the end of a hot LA day, and I was looking for a light and refreshing recipe. May I introduce you to The Bourbon Swizzle? The Apricot Liqueur gives it a nice fruitiness. Dangerously drinkable!
I also love these Collins glasses and tray. They are designed by Todd Oldham for Fish’s Eddy and feature the gloriously kitschy illustrations of Charley Harper!

My hubby has turned me on to bourbon lately. I think I will have to try this recipe for sure! Sounds delish! First, but not last, visit to your blog. Found it on your twitter. Really nice job on it. Looking forward to more of your posts!
Cheers!
Kristi,
FUN!! I bet you’ll like this. It’s a very drinkable bourbon cocktail. Sometimes I find bourbon to be a little overpowering if there isn’t some kind of citrus in it to even it out!
