In honor of the Kentucky Derby this past weekend, I decided to make a couple of Kentucky cocktails. Both came from Cosmopolitan and are very similar, making it easy to whip them both up.
I wish Kevin had placed a bet because not only did he pick the winning horse, California Chrome, but he knew when the horse was going to make his move to win! I was impressed! However my horse, Wicked Strong, didn't finish first and neither did these cocktails. They really weren't bad, but I would rather have my bourbon straight with 2 ice cubes. Oh well, at least we tried them!
Kentucky Waffle
2 ounces bourbon

3/4 ounce maple syrup
1/2 ounce apple cider

Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice and shake. Strain into a chilled glass and garnish with a cinnamon stick.
Kentucky Lemonade

1/2 ounce maple syrup
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
Shake and serve over ice in a cocktail glass.
