How to Make a Bourbon Swizzle
To make a Bourbon Swizzle, you will need:
- Bourbon
- Lime juice
- Simple syrup
- Mint leaves
- Crushed ice
Start by muddling a handful of mint leaves in the bottom of a glass. This will release the flavors and aromas of the mint.
Next, add 2 ounces of bourbon to the glass. The bourbon will give the cocktail its rich and smoky flavor.
Pour in 1 ounce of lime juice for a bright and tangy kick.
Add 1/2 ounce of simple syrup to sweeten the cocktail slightly. You can adjust the amount of simple syrup to your taste.
Fill the glass with crushed ice and stir vigorously with a swizzle stick or a long spoon. This will help to chill the cocktail and mix all the flavors together.
Garnish with a sprig of mint and enjoy your refreshing Bourbon Swizzle!
You can also experiment with variations of this cocktail by adding different fruits or herbs to the mix. Try adding a splash of pineapple juice or muddled berries for a fruity twist.
Remember to drink responsibly and enjoy your Bourbon Swizzle in moderation.
