Cinnamon Bourbon Mule

* 2 oz cinnamon-infused bourbon
* ½ oz fresh lime juice
* ¼ oz bourbon-infused honey
* 3–4 oz ginger b**r

Stir the honey into the lime juice first so it blends in, then add the cinnamon bourbon and ice. Top with ginger b**r and give it one gentle stir. Taste before adding more honey—the ginger b**r and infused bourbon may already bring enough sweetness.

Thanks again to the Primeaux’s. Glad to call yall friends!

Hit That Follow Button

I take a lot of heat because I never ask people to like, follow, comment, or subscribe. Truth is, I make these because I enjoy coming up with a drink and making the video. I’m not plotting my rise to internet fame—I’m a grown man in his kitchen putting bourbon in apple c***r and hoping the lighting makes me look less tired.

Some people are building a personal brand. I’m trying to keep the ice from melting before I finish talking.

Recipe

* 1½ oz bourbon
* ¾ oz unfiltered apple c***r
* ½ oz fresh lemon juice
* ¼ oz butterscotch liqueur
* ¼ oz bourbon barrel honey syrup
* 2 dashes Angostura bitters

Shake with ice and strain over a large cube. The c***r brings the fall. The bourbon brings the attitude.

That’s Hit That Follow Button. If you liked it, you know what to do. If you didn’t, at least the bourbon and apple had a good evening.

A little old-school Indianapolis in the glass. 🥃🍒 Our Lafayette Drinks Lab copycat of St. Elmo’s Elmo Cola brings bourbon, cherry, vanilla, and Coke together for an easy sipper with a classic steakhouse feel.

Shock the Monkey Martini

* 1½ oz coconut rum
* 1 oz banana crème liqueur
* 1 oz Baileys

Shake hard with ice, then strain into a chilled martini glass. It’ll be creamy, sweet, and banana-forward. A little grated chocolate on top would work if you have it.

Penelope Apple Cinnamon Old Fashioned is ready to pour, made with straight bourbon and rye wh***ey, apple-cinnamon bitters, and simple syrup. It’s bottled at 80 proof. I’m giving it a taste to see how the apple and cinnamon come through—and whether it still feels like a proper Old Fashioned.

A little Southern spirit and a toast to Dolly. 🍸✨ Today at Lafayette Drinks Lab, we’re making the Dirt Road Martini from Good Lookin’ Cookin’—vodka, black tea, and a splash of giardiniera brine, finished with olives and pickled vegetables.

Here’s to a woman who gave the world far more than music. Dolly showed us you can come from a dirt road and still leave a little sparkle everywhere you go. Cheers, Dolly.
