HeHere in the South, we LOVE our cocktails. Every Friday the Southern Foodies like to share one of our favorite Southern-Traditional, Southern-Created or Southern-Inspired Cocktail Recipes we know you will enjoy.
Today’s Southern Cocktail is a super-sweet sipper with just the right amount of strong and sour to keep it interesting.
Southern Cocktail #16 is The Equator Cocktail
Check out the description of this wonderful book below and go ahead and get a copy for yourself. Then get one for someone you love who loves Bourbon and Bacon (which should be just about everyone you know).
As for The Equator Cocktail — it is similar to a Whiskey Sour or a Stone Sour. The combination of sweet, sour and strong is perfect for sipping slowly on cold winter nights sitting by the fire watching college basketball.
And it goes without saying — but we will say it anyway — The Equator Cocktail pairs perfectly with any recipe that includes BACON.
