Who doesn't love a good easy co*cktail? I have rounded up 36 of my best 3 ingredient or less co*cktails! That's right only 3 ingredients! Everything from rum, to whiskey, to gin and even some fun sparkling wine co*cktails!
So guess who didn't make a new co*cktail this week? Or even remake an old one?
This week I was a little more focused on cooking, so I went with super easy, super familiar co*cktails.
Then, I thought, hey, what if I do a roundup of 3 ingredients (or less) co*cktails? Would I have enough to do a roundup?
Um...yes...I had 36. And if you are reading this some time in the future, there are probably even more.
Here's the criteria - I didn't count garnishes, unless they were something unusual like blueberries or mint leaves. I did count simple syrup and bitters.
3 Ingredient Bourbon co*cktails
Let's start with bourbon, shall we.
There are classics like The Old Pal co*cktail, The Manhattan, an Old Fashioned, a Boulevardier, a Horse's Neck, and Mint Julep. Then there is a riff on a classic, with the Mango Habanero Whiskey Sour.
