Bourbon is Back
By Erin Chambers, San Diego Editor
With the cocktail culture enjoying a healthy revival in San Diego, Burboun is back in a big way in local pubs and lounges. Here's five of our favorite bourbon cocktails around town.
-
Starlite Lounge
3175 India St, San Diego, CA
Try the Kentucky Colonel made with Buffalo Trace bourbon, Cock n’ Bull ginger beer, lemon, and cherry vanilla bitters. If you're hungry, too, the kitchen makes a mean $20 skirt steak. -
The Tractor Room
3687 5th Ave, San Diego, CA
Try the "Union Social" with burboun, vermouth and a splash of orange flower water, garnished with red cherry. -
Whisknladle
1044 Wall St, San Diego, CA
The master mixologists here infuse all their own liquors and boast a healthy selection of whiskeys and bourbons. Try the "Passion Fruit Sangria" made with Maker's Mark, ginger, and lemongrass to jump start any evening. -
Napa Valley Grille
Atop Horton Plz, San Diego, CA
The "Small Batch Lemonade" is perfect to enjoy with panoramic views of downtown and Horton Plaza. It's made with Woodford Small Batch bourbon, fresh-squeezed lemon juice and sugar.
