Stone Sour

If you haven't figured it out yet from previous posts, Kathy and I are partial to cocktails made with rye whiskey.  If you like a good cocktail, and have not experimented with it yet I would highly recommend trying it - either a Sazerac or a Manhattan would be a good place to start.   

If you would rather have something citrusy, here's another rye drink to add to your collection. The Stone Sour is a whiskey sour variation from California, but don't hold its origin against it - it is very good. Best with one of those homemade cocktail cherries.

If you don't have any rye in the cupboard, I'm sure this would also be good with bourbon.

Lynchburg Lemonade

This is what Lynchburg Lemonade is all about.  Chillin' out after a hard day of working in the garden. So good you drank it all and now are waiting for your hosts to give you a refill....

I was going to wait a bit longer before posting this recipe, but Lisa and Joe's work day and cookout with Bourbon Brined Porkchops prompted this to be "Cocktail of the Week Bonus Saturday".  Enjoy! 

This cocktail is designed for Jack Daniels, but bourbon does great as well.  Just don't spoil any really good bourbon making this drink.
