Cocktails

We love cocktails! Be it a bourbon cocktail with sweet tea, a spicy Strawberry Margarita, or a cool summer blueberry cocktail for porch sipping you need to hear those ice cubes tinkle!  And don’t forget our Blackberry Bramble!

You are here: Home / Archives for Friends Drift Inn Recipes / Cocktails

We like cocktails; especially jam cocktails with bourbon, moonshine,  tequila, rum and gin.  Spicy margaritas and oh-so-smooth bourbon whiskey mixed drinks are good any time of year!  

  • Summer cocktails are our thing.  But when the farm season slacks off, sitting by the fire with cocktail party food and a glass glistening with beads of condensation is a comfort.
  • Friends Drift Inn features recipes that build upon seasonal ingredients, with a focus inspired by Appalachia and the South.  Based in Kentucky, moonshine and bourbon are part of who we are.
  • Each recipe offers preparation techniques, nutrition information, food pairing ideas and a backstory about the beverage.  Please drink responsibly!
