Bourbon is a new love here in my house. Sounds kind of crazy since I live in Kentucky, right? Since my BIL introduced us to some killer varieties over Thanksgiving, it has become a “thing” here. So for New Year’s I decided to try out some Bourbon Slushies. Seriously, this is dangerous. Maybe I should only make this when we have company so there isn’t an entire batch just hanging out in my freezer. Or maybe not. I’m not really that good at sharing anyway!
