Bourbon Lift Cocktail Recipe
ByJames
The Bourbon Lift is a delightful cocktail that combines the rich, bold flavors of bourbon with a creamy, frothy finish. This refreshing drink is a lesser-known gem, perfect for bourbon lovers looking to try something new. The creaminess comes from the addition of heavy cream and soda water, which lifts the flavors into a smooth, effervescent experience.
