Strawberry Orange Bourbon Smash

While visiting Nashville last month we told ourselves we had to take in the local tradition of bourbon tasting. Bourbon has never been our first drink of choice, but ever since going Scotty has definitely been experimenting with different brands and ways to prepare a drink, and it is definitely growing on him. Your girl still needs a little something mixed with it because I just can’t quite acquire the taste yet 😝! So, I went ahead and grabbed some fresh fruit and got to making something colorful and pretty I would drink while he has his on the rocks! Funny thing is.. he loves it my way too! This recipe is delicious. It’s not overly sweet but not too strong either! If you want to make it less strong or more strong just use the blood orange sparkling water as much as you need for your desired taste.

Watermelon Twist Cocktail

This is such great drink to have really any time of the year, but being that its pink I had to share the recipe near Valentines day! It’s an easy drink to make with only 4 ingredients! You can also easily double or triple this recipe to make for parties with bigger groups. Trust me you will find yourself needing to do this because it is quite the crowd pleaser!

Ingredients:

2 oz Watermelon Pucker

2 oz Sweet & Sour Mix

2 oz Vanilla Vodka (regular will work too)

Lemon Sparkling Water

Directions:

  1. Grab a cocktail shaker! Add ice and the first 3 ingredients! SHAKE IT UP!

  2. Grab your cocktail glass. I like to add a little sugar rim to add some fun to this but total preference on this one! Add Ice and strain over mixture from cocktail shaker.

  3. Finish off with bubbles! I like to add lemon sparkling water for a lighter refreshing drink. You can also do 7up or Champagne!

  4. Enjoy!!

To make this into multiple drinks you would just double, triple or quadruple the first 3 ingredients in the shaker and then follow instructions as above!
