This allows it to be incorporated into a wide variety of cocktails while still maintaining its character," explains Justin Stiefel. He names carajillo, a spiked coffee drink, and says, "Swapping in bourbon elevates this drink, adding a warm, seasonal twist that makes it an ideal fall cocktail."
Tyson Buhler agrees that bourbon is much more flexible than many perceive it to be. "Take a drink like a cosmopolitan. Swapping in bourbon for vodka gives that drink a bit more spice and depth, and it works great alongside orange and cranberry," he says.
