I think Wild Turkey is in my blood. The amber goodness has been a staple adult
beverage in my family for as long as I can remember. So when I saw that Wild Turkey was making a
honey version I flipped.
Wild Turkey Honey is a ladies sipping version of
bourbon. No, I am not saying that we
can’t take it straight, but.. my husband and
father hate it. It is really sweet and you have
to be in the mood for it. I have not been in the mood for it
lately and was looking for something
citrusy to drink. I had seen an article
in a magazine recently that used bourbon, lemonade, and honey
to make a drink. Well, I already had the honey bourbon and just added the fresh lemon juice.
It’s a two ingredient drink that tastes like you needed to
put in a lot of effort. Fresh lemon
juice is a must. The bottled stuff is
not acceptable.
I used Wild Turkey, but I know some of their competitors are
also making honey versions. Some are more syrupy, others have a stronger bourbon content. Have fun taste testing and choose what
you like.
