A to Z Challenge Blog 2021 Cocktails A to Z From the letter K

Oh Happy Day! Hubby gets his first Covid vaccine shot this morning. I got mine back in February. No issues, no problems, but at my age, a little peace of mind.

Today’s Cocktail comes from the letter K. While I wouldn’t recommend this as a breakfast drink,I can see enjoying one after lunch or dinner. Our cocktail today is Kentucky Tea. For those who prefer, it could be Kentucky Coffee. I suppose like many when I think of drinks born in the Southern US, I immediately think of Mint Julips or Jack Daniels, straight up or with coke.

Make It Your Own

Both of these drinks are based on infamous Kentucky Bourbon. You can choose your poison in today’s Two for the price of one deal.

Kentucky Coffee:

Ingredients:

2.5 oz. Coffee

1.25 oz Bourbon

Brown Sugar (to taste)

Creamer (to taste)

Mix It

Pour coffee into a mug. My choice would be a glass one.

Optional:

Add creamer to taste I would go with whipped cream.

Kentucky Tea:

0.5 oz of red vermouth

Brewed Earl Gray or other blend of tea (strong)

lemon to taste

milk not recommended.

In a tea cup, add the bourbon and vermouth

Fill the rest of the cup with strong tea.

Hi! I live in Eastern Ontario. I'm married with three adult children and five wonderful grandchildren. I prefer warm weather, and sunshine but winter gives me time to write. If I’m listening to music, it will be something from the 1960s or 1970s. I enjoy action movies, romantic comedies, but I draw the line at slasher flicks and horror. I love science fiction and fantasy as well. I love to read; I immerse myself in the text and, as my husband says, the house could fall down around me, and I’d never notice. My preferences are as varied as there are genres, but nothing really beats a good romance, especially one that is filled with suspense. I love historical romance too, and have read quite a few of those. If I’m watching television, you can count on it being a suspense — I’m not a fan of reality TV, sit-coms, or game shows. Writing gives me the most pleasure. I love creating characters that become real and undergo all kinds of adventures. It never ceases to amaze me how each character can take on its own unique personality; sometimes, they grow very different from the way I pictured them! Inspiration comes from all around me; imagination has no bounds. If I can think it, imagine it, I can write it! View more posts
