GROWN FOLK’S TEA At Foode owner/executive chef Joy Crump and her bar team use black tea-infused bourbon to create its "Grown Folk's Tea," which the company describes as "a cocktail that, on its surface, is fun and drinkable in its familiarity, like a simple sweet iced tea in the summertime. But it has layers and complexity from the black tea slowsteeped in bourbon; notes that make it more than just a drink - it's a timetested pleasure that's earned." In order to achieve its signature teabourbon hybrid, Crump & Co. "steeps the tea bags in the bourbon (they prefer Bowman's Bourbon ) under refrigeration. Remove the tea bags gently without squeezing. This will keep the final product exactly like you'd want your sweet tea: crisp, bright and cloud-free." ~ Manual.Com
Here are a few more bourbon cocktails too try this fall:
BOWMAN BOURBON PUNCH 4 oz bourbon 4 oz orange juice
A few dashes blood orange bitters
Ginger beer
Serves: 2 Combine bourbon, orange juice and a few dashes of blood orange bitters in a shaker filled with ice. Strain into mason jars filled with ice about until about two-thirds full, top with ginger beer and garnish with fresh orange slices. BOURBON LIFT COCKTAIL The cocktail equivalent of a New York egg cream, this rich and fizzy bourbon drink is absolutely delicious. - 1.5 oz Bourbon 5 oz Heavy Cream 5 oz House Spirits Coffee Liqueur or other coffee liqueur 5 oz Almond orgeat (bottled or homemade) Club soda Add all the ingredients except the club soda to a shaker and fill with ice. Shake for 10 seconds and double-strain into an 8-ounce Fizz or Collins glass. Fill with club soda, pouring from about 6 inches above the glass. Wait a few seconds and then add another splash of soda this will lift the foam above the top of the glass. Serve with a straw.
