This cocktail, which I created with the help of some excellent Maker’s Mark bourbon and Campari, is perfectly refreshing for summertime season. Inspired by my travels to Kentucky a few summers ago (check out my Travel Guide to Kentucky here!), we enjoyed some of the best cocktails with bourbon I’d ever had. One cocktail in particular stood out, and I couldn’t wait to come home and try to recreate it. This cocktail recipe is a bourbon cocktail perfect for summer and showcases the flavor of Campari as it has the perfect balance of herbs and fruit, which with a little bit of orange peel, is really brought to life. I hope you all enjoy! Cheers!
