Bourbon and Water Drink Recipe: A Classic Southern Cocktail
If you're looking for a refreshing and classic cocktail to enjoy on a hot summer day, look no further than the Bourbon and Water drink. This simple yet delicious concoction has been a favorite in the South for generations, offering a perfect balance of sweetness and warmth.
Origins of the Bourbon and Water Drink
The origins of the Bourbon and Water drink can be traced back to the early days of American whiskey production. In the 18th century, settlers in Kentucky began distilling corn-based spirits, which eventually evolved into what we now know as bourbon. As bourbon gained popularity throughout the South, it became a staple ingredient in many cocktails.
One such cocktail was simply bourbon mixed with water. The addition of water not only helped to dilute the strong flavor of straight bourbon but also enhanced its aromatic qualities. Over time, this straightforward recipe became known as the Bourbon and Water drink.
How to Make a Bourbon and Water Drink
Making a Bourbon and Water drink is incredibly easy – all you need is two ingredients:
- 2 oz bourbon
- Splash of water (to taste)
To prepare your cocktail, simply fill an Old Fashioned glass with ice cubes. Add 2 ounces of your favorite bourbon over the ice. Then add just a splash or two of water to taste – this will help mellow out the intensity of the whiskey while still allowing its flavors to shine through.
Gently stir everything together using a bar spoon or swizzle stick until well combined. Garnish with an orange twist or cherry if desired.
