Get ready to raise your glass and celebrate Independence Day with a cooling 4th of July cocktail. As fireworks light up the night sky and patriotic spirit fills the air, this cocktail brings together your favorite bourbon and the season’s freshest ingredients. 

We think this cocktail pairs perfectly with Four Roses Small Batch Bourbon, a gold-winning spirit we featured earlier this year. Read more here.

Ingredients: 

2 oz Four Roses Small Batch Bourbon (or bourbon of choice)

¾ oz raspberry syrup*

¾ oz lemon juice

1 egg white 

Fresh raspberries and black berries for garnish 

Directions: Muddle blackberries in a mixing tin and add remaining ingredients. Dry shake for fifteen seconds and add ice. Shake for another fifteen seconds or until the cocktail is well chilled. Double strain over ice into a rocks glass. Garnish

*Raspberry Syrup: Combine equal parts raspberries, granulated sugar, and hot water. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Cool to room temperature. Strain.

This recipe was handed down to the Wainscott family by their Grandma Hellman, who lived to the age of 104. At her home, she kept a batch in the freezer for thirsty visitors. Bourbon Slushes are now a popular item on the drink menu at the Wainscott family’s restaurants. 

INGREDIENTS: 

☐ 2 (6-ounce) cans frozen orange juice concentrate 

☐ 2 (6-ounce) cans frozen limeade concentrate 

☐ 2 (6-ounce) cans frozen lemonade concentrate 

☐ 3 cups water 

☐ 21⁄4 cups brewed unsweetened tea 

☐ 6 ounces Maraschino cherry juice 

☐ 1000 ml Kentucky Bourbon (about 4 cups) 

☐ Ginger ale 

In a 12-cup lidded container, mix all the ingredients except the ginger ale. Cover and freeze for 24 hours. Stir the slush several times during the freezing process to break up the ice crystals. Once frozen, the mix can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. 

To serve, spoon about 3⁄4 cup of the slush into a glass and top with a splash of ginger ale. Serve immediately.

It's hot in the summertime and a refreshing tropical cocktail is always enjoyable. That's why I created the Mermaid Margarita with the beach in mind.
