The Paper Plane, named after the popular song by M.I.A., is a cool and popular whiskey cocktail. Equal parts of Bourbon, and two Italian liquors plus fresh lemon juice make for a very fun adult beverage. Amaro and Aperol are readily available at most liquor stores and are great additions to your liquor cabinet. The…

Double Dark Chocolate and Bourbon Cookies
My wife, knowing my how much I like dark chocolate and bourbon, purchased a cookie similar to these at one of our favorite local grocery stores. I have to say this recipe turned out great. Maybe a little over the top, but they tasted great. The Double Dark chocolate comes from the dark cocoa powder…
French Onion Soup Burger with Caramelized Onions, Fontina Mornay Sauce and Provolone on an English Muffin
I first saw this recipe on an Episode of Beat Bobby Flay on the Food Network called Beauty and the Feast. The biggest difference I made was adding the Lipton onion soup mix to season the beef burgers. One suggestion, go easy on the seasoning with the mornay sauce as well as the caramelized onions…
The Perfect Old Fashioned Cocktail
The Old Fashioned cocktail is my favorite. I have tried it in many forms, in many bars and in many restaurants. The basic recipe is simple. Bourbon or rye whiskey, muddled sugar, bitters, a cherry (I don’t use those nasty fake red ones) and orange or lemon peel. There are lots of variables and most…
Carolina Mule – An Adult Beverage Recipe
Moscow Mules are all the rage apparently. Copper cups, vodka and ginger beer with a bit of lime. I was reading one of my cooking magazine (I forget which) and I came across a Kentucky Mule. Basically they replace the vodka with bourbon. Anyone who knows me, knows very well that if bourbon is involved,…
Roasted duck, caramelized sweet potatoes, watercress, green apple “kimchi” with a bourbon-maple gastrique
This. Was. Amazing. One of the best things I’ve made in awhile. I’ve talked about Dudley’s on Short in Lexington, KY. I actually had a VERY similar meal there which I blogged recently (Roasted Duck Breast and Dudley’s on Short). My comment was that it might have been a little sweet for my taste. I…
Roasted Duck Breast at Dudley’s on Short
I tried to make this at home, sort of. Roasted duck, caramelized sweet potatoes, watercress, green apple “kimchi” with a bourbon-maple gastrique Trips to visit my wife’s family takes us right through Kentucky. I love that part of the drive. Rolling, lush hills. It is a beautiful part of the country. Going up we make…
Labrot & Graham’s Woodford Reserve Distillery Tour Photos
I might have mentioned before, I’m a huge bourbon fan. On a recent trip, we had the pleasure of touring the Labrot & Graham’s Woodford Reserve Distillery. Woodford was probably the first premium bourbon I started drinking. For a very long time, it was my “daily” drinker and even now I always have a bottle…
Sweet Corn Soup and Grilled Cheese with Bourbon-Bacon Jam
Yes, that’s right Bourbon-Bacon Jam. Make this now if you like bourbon and bacon. I got the basis of this meal from Bourbon Country magazine (Go figure, right?). I was obviously intrigued by the bourbon-bacon jam, but really the whole meal sounded great. I tweaked it a good bit, like I served the soup warm…
