We're adopting a southern recipe this week: the Texas Tea. Okay, the origins probably do not lie in the area of Texas as this is yet another "tea" style recipe that no doubt branched off of the Long Island Iced Tea. The big difference in this cocktail is the inclusion of Bourbon as a spirit. Bourbon brings its own flavor and finish to the drink making this a cocktail all its own.

You don't have to be from Texas to enjoy the potent flavors of the Texas Tea Recipe.

Irish Coffee, is this how they drink it in Ireland? Probably not, but we're drinking it that way. This is our restaurant style (look) to the Irish coffee using some brown sugar and Michael Collins Irish Whiskey Blend.

You like whiskey and coffee? Hot coffee seems to really bring out the whiskey flavors in a striking way.
