As fall has begun to truly set in here in the Pacific Northwest, I've been turning towards my favorite Bourbon cocktails to keep me warm. An acquired taste for me, I really began enjoying this spirit just last year, and have been experimenting with it ever since! While I have a few favorite concoctions, this one keeps things nice and simple - and therefore is on my go-to list! This drink is called Fred + Ginger, it's strong enough for a man, pretty enough for a gal. It will be sure to please either party. - Cassandra

1.5 oz of Bourbon
