The Beer, Bourbon & Barbeque Cocktail

#6 on the Spruce Eats “6 Unique Cocktails for the Adventurous Drinker“

Ingredients:

For the BBQ Water:

• 1 (19 oz.) bottle of barbecue sauce (Jack Daniel’s Honey Smokehouse)
• 19 oz. hot water (about 2 1/3 cups)

For the Cocktail:

• 1 1/2 oz. bourbon whiskey

Make the BBQ Water:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine barbecue sauce with an equal part of steaming hot water.
2. Whisk until fully incorporated.

Make the Cocktail:

One of the most surprising parts of this cocktail is how the beer is treated. Unlike most beer-mixed drinks, we are only using the foam as a garnish to top off the drink.

Pour the liquors and BBQ water into a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Squeeze the orange juice into the shaker as well.

1. Shake vigorously (be sure to do it in the shaker and not the bottle).
2. Strain into a cocktail glass.
3. Pour a quarter of a bottle of beer into a cocktail shaker.
4. Shake until foamy.
5. Spoon the beer foam on top of the cocktail to garnish.
