My Kentucky Kream cocktail

For many years I would give my very large family the gift of booze on Christmas.

This act always seemed easy and after some consideration I made the decision to build my gifts for the family this year.

I wanted to build an Irish cream made with mint and Kentucky bourbon as a substitute for the Irish whiskey base.

This is the recipe that I used. I hope it does you well. Also note this product will have a life of about 16 days. Keep refrigerated at all times and shake it each time before you use it.
