At BourbonBlog.com, we’ve found a way to get ready for football season tailgating party that includes both Bourbon and beer. Remember our own Beer, Bourbon and BBQ cocktail creation? Once again, two of those B’s make a good team.Entering the field is another “B”- Basil Hayden.
The sweet tartness of frozen lemonade and the spicy, warming finish of Basil Hayden’s will make this End Zone a welcomed surprise for your guests.

I understand the sentiment of the post and the recipe. But I have to be honest and say that tailgating punches are a good opportunity to check out the lower end of the bourbon price spectrum. I’d suggest Basil’s to add a little kick to lemonade and forget about the beer.

Gotta admit I agree– I’d probably go for Benchmark with this. It’s basically a “Skip and Go Naked” or “Beer-A-Rita”, but with bourbon instead of vodka or tequila.
