I was pleasantly surprised to receive a Valentine’s Day cocktail recipe made with Woodford Reserve, a bourbon whiskey, since bourbon isn’t often written about on this site (not for lack of not liking it – just lack of relevant recipes).
With Valentine’s Day being so closely associated with chocolate, the folks at Woodford Reserve came up with a chocolate based bourbon cocktail – bourbon, creme de cacao, and hazelnut. If you have previously thought that bourbon wasn’t your thing, the Liquid Bourbon Ball may be the perfect re-introduction.
