As you can imagine, our friends over at the Maker’s Mark Distillery over in Kentucky have one heck of a bar.
Their mixologists use a variety of Spiceology ingredients to shake up some of the tastiest concoctions to happen to bourbon, including this Pecos Sour.
Sure, the Pecos Cordial takes a little extra effort, but think of it as investing in future very happy hours.
Check out more ways to use Spiceology blends and ingredients in cocktails here.
