Grapefruit Bourbon Cocktail

A few years ago, my husband and I took a Cocktail Class at Forth Bar in Winnipeg.

This is where my cocktail making interest took off! Josie, the head bartender, demonstrated how to make 4 classic cocktails, gave pointers and then we tasted the results. One of his recommendations was Buffalo Trace Bourbon, and now it is my Bourbon of choice!

The recipe below is the perfect summertime cocktail (or anytime really). It’s fruity and a crowd fave!
