Bourbon And Honey French 75 Food

FRENCH 75

Steps:

• Pour the Cognac, simple syrup, and lemon juice into a cocktail shaker and add the ice. Shake for at least 30 seconds (it's longer than you think!). Pour the mixture into 4 Champagne flutes to fill each glass about two-thirds full. Fill the glasses with Champagne, garnish with the lemon zest, and serve ice cold.

BOURBON AND HONEY

Steps:

• 1. In a small sauce pan, combine lemon juice, honey and thyme. Bring to a boil. Remove thyme, then chill.
• 2. Choose a quality bourbon (NOT a Jack Daniels grade. In my opinion, life is too short for subpar whiskey.)
• 3. Chill two tumblers in the freezer. Divide chilled lemon juice/honey mixture between the two tumblers. Stir in 2 shots (or more?) per tumbler. Serve with a spring of thyme in the glass. Enjoy.
