Made with Eagle rare, bitters, brown sugar cube crushed and ice with cucumber tonic water and orange rind.

rather nice with the cucumber tonic .. you could use seltzer as well, although originally it would be club soda... ginger ale too can be used.
i might add eagle isnt the best bourbon to use tbh, but that was what was open. its a bit full bodied. think i will try a rye one next time as ive never had a rye old f
Woodford Reserve and Buffalo Trace on offer in Tesco just now
both good.. Trace is maybe more drinkable, but woodford is good too.Quote:
