Bourbon Cocktail Recipes : Romantic Ginger Beer & Bourbon Drink

I am not your typical Bourbon consumer, in fact, I have never had a bourbon. My husband, on the other hand, Bourbon is his drink of choice and he usually just drinks it over ice.

However, after getting some samples of Four Roses Bourbon and provided with the task of creating a Valentine’s Day Bourbon Cocktail Recipe, I may be a convert.

How to Make a Valentines Day Cocktail with Bourbon

I found a few recipes for Kentucky Mule Cocktails with Bourbon so I adapted it slightly to create what I call the Romantic Ginger Beer and Bourbon Drink to share with your Valentine.

Not sure of what I would think of this drink we only bought one bottle of Real Ginger Beer but now I wish I had purchased more.
