Bourbon Prosecco Spritzer – Darling Down South

I do not notably gravitate in direction of bourbon as a drink. I am a gin woman so selecting darkish liquor is slightly out of my consolation zone, until after all it is for the Kentucky Derby and I am making a signature Derby cocktail. Nonetheless, in an effort to strive one thing new, I created a citrusy bourbon prosecco spritzer that I believed would rework this gin drinker right into a full-on bourbon woman.

There’s nothing notably incorrect with being a bourbon drinker, it is simply by no means been the sort of drink I gravitate in direction of. I am usually averse to the sharp burn that hits your palate and nostril when sipping the stuff, and I usually like my bourbon drinks ice chilly in order that it is a easy consuming expertise. I imagine for this reason I believed that making a prosecco spritzer can be a good way to step out of my consolation zone and discover how bourbon may be utilized to my life. Bourbon and I are already well-known for baking within the kitchen (it makes an ideal meringue), however I wished to push the envelope and make it right into a drink I might get pleasure from on the weekends.

I wished to maintain it easy and flavorful so I selected to make use of substances for this that had been already on my menu for my household’s early Thanksgiving: oranges, sage, and sugar. I already had bourbon in my liquor cupboard and prosecco on my wine shelf from a earlier cocktail creation, so I believed I would give it a go and whip one thing collectively.

The end result: a subtly natural citrusy bourbon punch with a stunning affect from the prosecco. A crowd favourite and an ideal use of the additional oranges I had purchased for a salad dressing.
