Saturday Sipper: Beer, Bourbon and Barbecue Cocktail

Published Jan. 30, 2010 at 1:42 p.m.

This week's featured drink is one that is certainly extraordinary and, well, for an acquired taste. The Bourbon, Beer and Barbecue is exactly as it sounds and, while interesting, is one I may not try, but for the right person I'm told it is a winner.

This unique drink was brought to my attention by Lance Mayhew and is the brainchild of Tom Fischer of the Bourbon Blog and mixologist Steven Dennison of Varanese restaurant in Louisville. It was created for today's Beer, Bourbon and Barbecue Festival in Manhattan and will be available there as well.

So what is this drink exactly? Imagine a base of Maker's Mark and Evan Williams Honey Reserve mixed with a specially prepared BBQ water from the Jack Daniels collection. After all of that is shaken up, shake up some Shiner hefeweizen and use the foam as a garnish for the whiskey drink. It's quite ingenious actually and if you are a fan of the three flavors the combination may be a thing of beauty for your palate.
