Overview
Bourbon Is My Comfort Food reveals the delicious beauty of bourbon in cocktails and the joy of creating them. Whether readers are new to bourbon or already steeped in its history and lifestyle, they will gain the knowledge to make great bourbon cocktails, share them with friends and family, and expand their whiskey horizons-because the only thing better than a glass of bourbon or a bourbon cocktail is sharing it with a friend. As the saying goes, ""There are no strangers with a glass of bourbon in your hand."" From building your home bar to basics on cocktail technique, Heather Wibbels showcases classic bourbon cocktails-like the Old Fashioned, the Manhattan, Whiskey Sours, Highballs, Juleps and more-in approachable ways. She even includes Cocktail Labs, experiments to explore classic cocktail elements and play with flavors, textures, infusions, syrups and garnishes. With over 140 recipes, this book is more than a cocktail recipe book-it's a primer on manipulating flavors and balance in whiskey cocktails. But more than that, Bourbon Is My Comfort Food is a celebration of 10 years of bourbon education and cocktails by Bourbon Women, the first spirits group dedicated to women and their love of bourbon. This book celebrates with cocktails from the Bourbon Women leadership team, branches across the nation and winners from the Bourbon Women annual Not Your Pink Drink contest. Get out your bourbon and cocktail shaker, and explore the wide world of bourbon cocktails with Heather Wibbels and Bourbon Women!
