Food Recipes

Cherry Blossom Sangria

Smoked Cherry Bounce Drunken Bacon

It’s Easter Sunday and things are a little more relaxed around here for a change. (Ya’ll are keeping us busy! Thank you!) With the warm weather and a little extra time I decided to fire up the smoker and smoke my own pork loin over buying a ham this year. Just trying to spice up Easter dinner a bit. In that interest, looking around the fridge I saw a half a pack of uncured bacon sitting in the meat drawer and was inspired to pull it out to marry it with our main dish somehow.

Whiskey Cobbler recipe

Whiskey Cobbler

,

1 oz 100% Barley Whiskey

1/2 oz Cherry Bounce

1 oz Orange juice

1 oz Cranberry juice

Splash lemon juice, Splash lime juice, Sprite or club

Add all the ingredients over ice and shake well! If you want a graham cracker rim (who wouldn’t), take your clean, fresh glass, dip it in orange juice, and then dip it into smashed graham cracker crumbs! The OJ helps the graham stick to the rim. Then pour the drink into the glass as is, or strain it into the glass if you want a martini; garnish with your favorite cherries.

Enjoy!
