ToothbrushFambly Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I just got a bottle of Wild Turkey American Honey. Any ideas on cocktails, recipes, etc.? I think if I drink it straight, I'll end up with a sugar rush and hangover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Riley Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Check the Wild Turkey website. Master Distiller Emeritus Jimmy Russell likes it over pound cake himself, he finds it too sweet for his own taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielK Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 They were doing a tasting at a liquor store when I was in Ft. Lauderdale over Thanksgiving. I barely got any bourbon taste - couldn't get past the sugar bomb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanMike Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Back when we were undergrads or thereabouts, Marshall and I would pour it over ice to drink with our cigars post-steak cookout. I haven't played with it much recently but I'd probably use it more like a simple syrup substitute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swolfson Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 I'm a huge fan of American Honey for quick 'n' easy hot toddies when a cold or flu-like illness strikes: brew a cup of tea (your choice, though I'm partial to constant comment) add American Honey to taste (and/or desired strength) finish with a squeeze of lemon juice stir enjoy It might not be the best hot toddy recipe, but when I'm in that fuzzy head-cold state of mind, the simpler, the better.

DonRocks Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I just got a bottle of Wild Turkey American Honey. Any ideas on cocktails, recipes, etc.? I think if I drink it straight, I'll end up with a sugar rush and hangover. The problem I have with Wild Turkey American Honey is that even *I* could mix a *good* bottle of Wild Turkey with a little honey - I trust my taste in honeys and my preferred level of alcohol and sweetness more than I trust the "focus groups" at Campari, who have attempted to make one, single product to fit all people. There's nothing at all wrong with mixing Bourbon and honey (it actually sounds wonderful), but why not actually *mix* Bourbon and honey, using a good example of each, and adjusted to your personal taste preferences? If this was something that took even two minutes of time, I could understand it better, but this is literally a twenty-second operation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
