With the 4th of July upon us, it’s only right that this week’s cocktail comes from the great state of Massachusetts… with a little help from Kentucky.
Cape Cod’s Chatham Bars Inn developed a Private Select bourbon with Maker’s Mark — only the second resort in the state to do so — available to enjoy only at the property. To create the flavor profile, Chatham Bars Inn Master Mixologist Adam Couto and his team hand-selected wood finishing staves such as Baked American Pure, Seared French Cuvée, Maker’s 46 Roasted French Mocha and Toasted French Spice. The end result is a full barrel of private select Maker’s Mark that can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or paired with a selection of cocktails like this one. Additionally, all of its cocktail ingredients are sourced and created from The Inn’s local 8-acre farm.
Ingredients:
- 2 oz Maker’s Mark Bourbon
- 1 1/2 oz fruit puree of choice (recommended blackberry)
- 2 dashes Orange bitters
Instructions:
Fill a double old-fashioned glass with ice. Shake all ingredients with ice and double strain over fresh ice. Run an orange ribbon over rim of glass and drop on top of cocktail.
