Fistful of Bourbon
Cocktails for Poker Night
As we head into fall, now is a good time to host an end of the summer social with a Fistful of Bourbon Poker Night! It’s a super easy, low fuss get together that’s great for couples to mix and mingle. Simply serve light bits like popcorn, mixed nuts, sandwiches, chips, and dip. Pair these nibbles with two Fistful of Bourbon Cocktails for Poker Night featuring the Fistful Old Fashion and the Fistful Smash.
I prefer Fistful of Bourbon because it is a 100 percent straight American whiskey blended by William Grant & Sons Master Blender Brian Kinsman, who was awarded the 2017 ISC Master Distiller of the Year, and Kelsey McKechnie, William Grant & Sons Whisk(e)y Blender, after sampling loads of straight bourbons from all over America.
Fistful of Bourbon is a blend of five straight American bourbons – literally a fistful – aged at least two years that together delivers the best that bourbon has to offer. Like you’d expect from a full-fisted bourbon, the whiskey has five distinct flavors: balanced and sweet; green, leafy floral notes; soft spices and hints of nutmeg; buttery toffee; cinnamon and licorice.
Now doesn’t that sound AMAZING? So let’s end the summer with a bang and mix up some Fistful of Bourbon cocktails for poker night!
