Notes
I used a "fruitier" bourbon (Four Roses) but feel free to use your favorite bourbon or substitute whiskey instead.
Simple syrup is easy - and super inexpensive - to make! Follow our recipe to make your own simple syrup at home.
If you're only making one or two drinks, grab the mini bottles of Prosecco from the liquor store. They are great to have on hand when your cocktail calls for a splash of bubbles but you don’t want to open a big bottle of Prosecco for just a few drinks. Club soda also works well as a substitute for Prosecco.
