happy hour: the presbyterian
Oh happy, happy hour! It’s Friday again… woohoo! This week I whipped up a super easy cocktail (you don’t even need a shaker), called the presbyterian. All you need is bourbon, ginger ale and seltzer water, perhaps a lemon peel if you have one. See? Easy stuff.
Cheers! Have yourself a lovely weekend! Next week look out for a little Thanksgiving round up leading up to the big day.

that might be the best cocktail name ever!
I’m wondering where the name of this cocktail came from, but all I can say is, if the church I grew up in had had these drinks, I’d have stayed a Presbyterian!!
I could have used that today. Sounds wonderful and different.
this sounds good. what kind of burbon do you use?
I used to order it with regular ol’ Jack Daniels. After a while I gave up ordering Presbyterian by name and just gave the recipe. No one knows how to mix a drink anymore, esp bartenders unfortunately. Fabulous drink - a less sweet Jack & Ginger. Looove it!
Just discovered your site through 101cookbooks. Gorgeous photos! I have some extra bourbon leftover from making my Chocolate Bourbon Walnut Pie. I am going to make this cocktail tonight for a bunch of non-wasps who really need to chill out! Thanks for the great inspiration. Good luck with all your endeavors and best wishes,
Dana
