It takes years of trial and error, acute knowledge, and unwavering discipline to truly achieve the skill level necessary to create mouth-watering barbecue. But when it comes to creating delicious cocktails to pair well with your favorite smoked meats and classic comfort foods, there is no real skill required! Anyone can couple the perfect cocktail with the smokiness and spiciness of a genuine barbecue dinner. All you need are the right ingredients, the right supplies, and a group of friends to share them with!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When deciding on cocktails, there are hundreds of liquors\nand liqueurs to choose from, but whiskey is always a safe choice. There is no\nother liquor that quite matches the smoke and spice of barbecue. The aromatic\nherbs of whiskey seem to complement the charred goodness of authentic barbecued\nfoods. Below you will find a few popular whiskey cocktails that are sure to\nbring out the best flavors and the best times at your next barbecue dinner!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83c\udf4b The Dickelade<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>This cocktail is made with George Dickel No. 12\u00ae , which is a 90 proof whiskey that is inspired by authentic scotch flavors. It is basically an Arnold Palmer, but without the iced tea. In fact, you could even compare it to a whiskey sour, which is bourbon, lemon juice, and sugar (and sometimes an egg white to balance the flavor!). To make a Dickelade, simply mix with lemonade and serve over ice with a lemon slice! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Directions:<\/strong><br>\u21e2 1.5 ounces George Dickel No. 12\u00ae<br>\u21e2 4 ounces Lemonade<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Fill a rocks glass with ice. Pour in whiskey first, then top it with the lemonade. Stir the contents until the glass starts to chill and condensate. Finish by garnishing with a lemon slice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83c\udf6f Jack Daniels Honey\u00ae &amp; Grapefruit<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>The name really says it all here. This cocktail is the perfect refreshing finish to any bite of tasty barbecue, and it only requires a few easy ingredients. All you need is a bottle of Jack Daniels\u00ae and some ruby red grapefruits to get started. Simply mix, pour over ice, and garnish with a lime wedge. If you want to avoid the hassle of freshly squeezing grapefruits, you can substitute in your choice of bottled grapefruit juice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Directions:<\/strong><br>\u21e2 1 ounces Jack Daniels Honey\u00ae<br>\u21e2 3 ounces Fresh-Squeezed Grapefruit Juice<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Start with a tall glass of ice. Squeeze grapefruit juice into a separate container. Next, pour the whiskey over ice, then follow with grapefruit juice. Finish by garnishing with a lime wedge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83c\udf79 The Cobas<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want something similar to the Jack Daniels Honey\u00ae and Grapefruit, but not as sweet, try the exotic cocktail named the Cobas, which loosely translates to the <em>suck up<\/em> in Spanish. But this drink doesn&#8217;t have tequila. Instead, this cocktail requires standard bourbon, grapefruit juice, mint leaves, and cinnamon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Directions:<\/strong><br>\u21e2 1 ounces Jim Beam\u00ae<br>\u21e2 1.5 ounces Fresh-Squeezed Grapefruit Juice <br>\u21e2 1.5 ounces Fresh-Squeezed Lime Juice  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Start with a tall glass of ice. Next, pour the whiskey over ice, then follow with grapefruit  juice and lime juice. Finish by garnishing with a lime wedge, fresh mint leaves, and a sprinkle of cinnamon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Where to Get<\/strong> <strong>Great Food and Drink Specials in Downtown Indy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Contact English Ivy\u2019s at 317-822-5070<\/strong> to hear about our delicious dinner and drink specials we&#8217;re offering this summer!
