For Day 21 of Boozy Advent, I made a Cranberry Bourbon Fizz. I made this cocktail using the Cranberry Bourbon Fizz recipe from Gimme Some Oven. This has just three simple ingredients: Ginger Beer, Cranberry Juice and Bourbon. We had fresh cranberries in the refrigerator, so I tossed them into the juicer (we have this…
Boozy Advent 20: Bourbon Sour
For the 20th Day of Boozy Advent, I mixed together another classic, a Bourbon Sour. While the classic Whiskey Sour is essentially whiskey, lemon juice and sugar.

For the ninth day of Boozy Advent, I made one of Johnna’s original cocktails with a slight variation. The Bourbon Apple Cocktail is perfect on a cool night and works well with most bourbons. I used Buffalo Trace Bourbon tonight. In Johnna’s original recipe, she uses pumpkin butter. I’ve used apple butter in this one…
