Bourbon, Bitters & Soda
You may associate soda with vodka or gin, but what about bourbon? This golden alternative is just as simple and light for a refreshing cocktail.
Bourbon, Bitters & Soda is an easy drinking cocktail for the whisky lover and amateur alike. This long drink manages to capture the same aromatic profile famously attributed to perhaps the most famous American cocktail, the Old Fashioned, but in a more sessionable package. The Bourbon, Bitters & Soda is easy to make; simply combine your favorite Bourbon with Hella Bitters & Soda, a premium sparkling aperitif, over ice, garnish with a lemon wedge and this highball delivers every time.
The perfect mixer to mingle with the brooding oak of Kentucky Straight Bourbon, it can easily be made with either Hella Bitters & Soda Dry Aromatic which has zero sugar and Aromatic bitters or bittersweet Aromatic Spritz which offers the same flavor profile but with the addition of pure cane sugar resulting in more body. Either way this cocktail, which has a lower ABV% is perfect for daytime imbibing and easily pairs food.
