Mixing it up with Vernors and Bourbon. How well do they mix? Jamie, August, and Matt put it to the test and mix up a special Man Cave Cocktail just for the occasion.

The cocktail:
Man Cave Happy Hour Double Barrel Motor City Cocktail
2oz. Bourbon (Wild Turkey 101)
4oz. Vernors
5 dashes Angostura Bitters
Garnish with 3 Luxardo Cherries (be sure to get plenty of Luxardo juice to spill  into the cocktail as you grab the cherries)

In a rocks glass combine Bourbon, Vernors, and bitters . Stir well. Add one large cocktail ice cube. Add cherries on a toothpick and stir again.  Enjoy.

Make it a Mule by adding a 1/2 ounce fresh squeezed lime preparing the drink in a pint glass (or mule mug). Replace the cherries with a lime wedge and fill the remainder of the glass with Veronors.  This is the "Man Cave Motor City Mule"

Here is the article where we pulled historical info:

We started our trip at the Whiskey Classic with tequila from Padre Azul. Joining us is  Auday Arabo from Benchmark Beverage Company who represents Padre Azul Tequila. He walks us through the different expressions and the story behind Padre Azul.
