To make the Louiville Cooler, I would first recommend not starting the drink at nearly 3 a.m. After that, take one and a half ounces of Bourbon, add an ounce of orange juice, an ounce of lime juice nad a teaspoon of powdered sugar.
Crooney just declared the verdict "heinous" but quickly added that he'd just brushed his teeth. Our friend Mike is spending the night on the couch, and he said his taste was exactly what he expected, based on the ingredients. His assessment was slightly more kind than Chris's.
I'll say this: it's really ugly and muddy looking, and it tastes like acidic bourbon with an aftertaste of strange powdered sugar. You can't be surprised to hear that I hate it. Hate. It.
Also. Why is this called the Louiville Cooler? Anyone?

ReplyDeletePS - I'd like to make it clear that I know how to spell Louisville. But perhaps not after 3 o'clock in the morning...
ReplyDeleteLouisville Cooler b/c the drink is generally made with Jim Beam, which is distilled in the area. Served along with the julep at the Derby, I believe. This seems like a twist on SoCo and OJ, actually, but I don't know which is the chicken and which is the egg. Anyhoo, of all the reviews thusfar, this was the only big surprise. This sounded like it would taste pretty dern good.
