After going to Hard Water (an American Whiskey Bar) this past weekend, I’ve been inspired to whip up some bourbon based drinks. With the 80 degree temps it was important to find a drink that was also refreshing, introduce the – Ginger Bourbon Fizz.
- 2 oz Bourbon
- 1 splash (about a Tablespoon) of ginger simple syrup
- Juice of 1/2 a lemon
- 1/2 cup of Club Soda
Fill a glass with ice and add bourbon, syrup and lemon juice. Stir and top with club soda. Enjoy!
I recently bought some rosewater and have been trying to figure out creative ways to use it – enter… the Rosewater Rickey.
Rosewater Rickey
- 3 oz Hendricks Gin
- 1/2 oz lime juice
- Splash of simple syrup
- Splash of rosewater
- Club Soda
Shake gin, lime juice, simple syrup and rosewater in an ice filled shaker. Strain into an ice filled glass and top with club soda. Stir and enjoy!
* I garnished these drinks with mint ice cubes. To make them I filled large square ice cube molds 1/3 of the way and freeze. Place a mint leaf on top and fill tray to 2/3 full. Freeze again and then fill to the top (this will keep the mint leaf fulling submerged).

I had my first Mint Julep at Club 33 in Disneyland… it was surprisingly refreshing for a bourbon based drink and I realized I had a new fall favorite sip.
Mint Julep Serves 1
- handful of mint leaves
- 1/2 oz simple syrup
- 2 1/2 oz bourbon
- Muddle mint and simple syrup in a glass (don’t over muddle because the mint will turn bitter – just enough to release the oil)
- Add bourbon to glass
- Fill with crushed ice and stir well.
- Once glass is frosty, garnish with a mint sprig.

*I have Mint Julep cups but I prefer to use them as vases… so I had to go with the standard crystal glass – still just as tasty!
The Feezor women love Bourbon (go figure!) and are always looking for fun ways to enjoy it… the funniest part is our favorite way is just over ice! But when I discovered this classic drink, I couldn’t believe I’d never enjoyed it… and now I’m hooked!
