Description
My cocktail for this week is an adaptation of a recipe I learned in New Orleans earlier this year. While visiting the city I was able to spend some time at the Lobby Bar in the Windsor Court Hotel with bartender Kent Westmoreland, who has a great appreciation of classic cocktails. During our visit he had me taste a ton of his incredible cocktail creations, including the Southern Knight, and I knew immediately that I wanted to give it a twist and share it with you. Many bourbon recipes ask for the inclusion of lemon juice and/or ginger, and todays recipe is no exception; these flavors just work so well together. I started with the bourbon, lemon juice and ginger in the form of ginger beer and then decided I needed to balance the concoction out a little further with the addition of some sugar, which came in the form of a strawberry simple syrup. The result is a delicious cocktail I am sure you will love.
