I'd never heard of Kentucky champagne until we did a wedding at my job that asked for it. It's a cocktail made from bourbon and Ale-8 (Ale-8 is a soda made in Kentucky). I thought I'd give it a try one day, and it's one of my favorite cocktails because it is so easy and delicious! If you don't have access to Ale-8, then ginger-ale would be a good substitute.

Kentucky champagne**
makes 6 drinks
4 1/2 oz bourbon, your favorite
6 pack of Ale-8
ice
pretty straws
mint (optional for garnish)
- Place ice and 3/4 oz bourbon in the bottom of a glass.
- Open 1 Ale-8 and pour over ice and bourbon.
- Stir with straw a few times.
- Serve garnished with mint.
This is a good option for those non-bourbon drinkers (like me) although you want to get into the spirit of the Derby and drink bourbon. How do you like to drink your bourbon?
