    About this ebook

    The key to a great bourbon cocktail is to produce a drink which complements the flavor profile of the bourbon and doesn’t mask it. After all, we’re not talking about any old hooch here. Bourbon is the all-American spirit created and made in the United States of America. It truly is our contribution to the world of distilled spirits.

    Author Steve Akley has gathered 50 unique bourbon cocktails from 50 iconic bars. In fact, it’s actually 53 unique cocktails from 52 iconic bars but that title just didn’t sound as good. One submitted two cocktails that fit in its chapter and two other locations submitted cocktails after the book was complete but prior to the final layout being completed. Steve elected to include them and figures they are a great “value add” taking the cocktail count beyond the stated amount.

    By the way, we’re not talking the “same old/same old” here. We’re talking about signature cocktails from some of the greatest drinking establishments in the United States.

      We know this is going to generate controversy, so let’s just lean right in: the top-scoring bourbon this month isn’t from Kentucky—it’s a single cask made in Boulder, Colorado. In many ways, this signifies how the bourbon boom has broadened, particul

      Originally made in town during the gold mining days with bourbon, gun powder and tobacco juice. It killed about half the guys who drank it. Ours tastes much better, and hasn't killed anyone... yet!

      Tiger Eyes

      Big Star opened with plans to be a quiet little whiskey forward taqueria. That lasted about two seconds. With our cheap beer flowing, bonded shots of the day and Chef Paul Kahan designed tacos taking their hold on our city, we've shifted. We're often busy, and getting conceptually interesting Manhattans out to guests isn't always easy... but, we do always try to push the possibilities of that drink, subbing in interesting amaros that allow for layers of taste to shine through even during peak busy times. Tiger Eyes is just that -- a touch herbal, slightly sweet but with a light dry finish.

      - Add a dash of Angostura to an old fashioned glass along with rest of ingredients
