New Year, New Cocktails

I have decided to learn how to make new cocktails. I know, most people resolve to stop drinking but here I am trying to find new and wonderful ways of getting drunk.

So today's drink is called the Bourbon Highball. It has been pointed out that I have been drinking too much bourbon lately. Well what can I say, I like 'em boys down south ;)

1 1/2 ouces bourbon
1 piece of lemon (no lemon now, so I subbed a dash of lemon juice)
Ginger ale for topping up
1 lemon peel spiral (again, no lemon in hand!)

Put ice cubes in a highball glass, pour bourbon, then lemon. Top up with ginger ale. Then add lemon peel spiral.

It was absolutely yummy. Bourbon and ginger ale make it sweet and just a little hint of sourness from the lemon. The kind of drink you won't feel till you've had about 10 and it hits you and then you're down on the floor.

Much like a Cosmopolitan, except manlier! :D
