Last on our trip through America is a Kentucky Mule in the home of bourbon whiskey; this is a variation of the venerable Moscow Mule which replaces the vodka with slightly more Kentucky Straight bourbon and a touch more lime juice.
There are many fine bourbons from kentucky (and many distilleries on the bourbon trail, of which I’ve visited over 20 of them); Maker’s Mark makes a good choice for cocktails, but so do many of the others.
