To make the Kentucky Cocktail take 1.5 oz bourbon, .75 oz pineapple juice, shake with ice and strain into a cocktail glass. It tastes pretty much how it sounds. Since I like pineapple juice and I like bourbon, I like this drink. I am, however, confused as to why it is called the Kentucky Cocktail. What does pineapple have to do with Kentucky?
Shannon had high hopes for this drink, but said it tastes like perfume must taste like if one were to drink it. I had to seek clarification that that was, in fact, a negative review.
I looked it up, apparently it's called the Kentucky Cocktail because it was the premiere drink recipe that the first bourbon distillery (which was in Louisville, Kentucky) had released for marketing. But still... why pineapple juice? It sounds like a sticky sugary mess
