Bourbon Summit
After the election of 2014, Obama invited incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to what has been referred to as “Bourbon Summit ”

While McConnell indicates that he Bourbon Summit will happen, he says choosing which brand of bourbon to have would be like “picking a favorite child.”

As the new Congress convenes this week on January 6, 2015, BourbonBlog.com suggests a few of our own politically themed whiskey and Bourbon cocktails along with a list of Bourbons which might be appropriate for this Bourbon Summit. (Add to our list with YOUR suggestions under comments here).

For these cocktails, we’re using Filibuster Dual Cask Bourbon and also whiskeys from The Copper Fox Distillery (based near D.C.). BourbonBlog.com Mixologist Stephen Dennison and his “Capitol Cocktails” stimulate your taste buds and make you lobby for more.
