What are the Best Bourbon Cocktail Recipes to Try Today?

Bourbon Cocktails are classic drinks for those that love smooth, rich flavors with a kick of warmth. What I love most about the best bourbon cocktails is that they take a small amount of sweetness, citrus, and spice to complement the character of the bourbon. There is the classic bourbon cocktail, the Old Fashioned, made with bourbon, bitters, sugar, and an orange twist or, if you wanted something refreshing and cool, the Mint Julep.  For readers looking for something a little bolder, the Boulevardier is made using bourbon, sweet vermouth, and Campari. If you enjoy drinks that add a "citrus" element to the mix, the Whiskey Sour made with fresh lemon juice, with a small amount of simple syrup, is worth trying. Each of the bourbon cocktails above illustrates the complexity of bourbon but remains approachable. It is a great casual drink, but it still feels refined enough to enjoy on a special occasion.
