    The Fontleroy: A Bourbon Cocktail

    September 14, 2016

    You guys I’m starting to love love LOVE bourbon! And today I’m sharing my recipe for this bourbon cocktail, made with St. Germain!

    This tasty bourbon cocktail features St. Germain, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and rosemary, and is inspired by a Louisville restaurant cocktail!

    So I have to be honest. I’ve not been a bourbon drinker. I know, I know! It’s the highest-selling liquor in the United States again now after finally starting to out-sell vodka again in 2014. Back in July, I headed down to Louisville with my sister for her bachelorette party and we partook in a bourbon tasting at several distilleries in the area which was sooooo much fun! I started to learn all these fun facts about bourbon and its history, and it made me really want to start liking it. So gradually I’ve been working on trying more bourbon cocktails – and I’m loving them!

    Todays recipe is actually inspired by a recipe for the Pretty Penny from Fontleroy’s, where we had dinner in Louisville one night. On their menu that night they had a bourbon cocktail made with none other than my favorite liquor: St. Germain! I had to try it, and it became a favorite of the night. I’ve reproduced it today with the addition of rosemary. If you prefer other herbs, fresh thyme or tarragon could also work well!

      This cocktail sounds absolutely refreshing — I love the combination of bourbon with St. Germain and fresh rosemary, it must add such a unique aroma! 🍹 The touch of lemon juice probably balances everything perfectly too.

      Reading this made me think about how fun it is to explore different beverages, whether homemade or on the go — I recently came across some interesting drink options at Sonic, which also offer a wide variety of flavors to try.

      This cocktail sounds absolutely refreshing! I love how you combined bourbon with St. Germain and rosemary — such a unique twist. The way you described your experience in Louisville made it even more interesting. I’ve also been exploring different food and drink ideas recently on restaurant menu prices and drink options, which gave me some great inspiration. Thanks for sharing this!

      I like this cocktail recipe. The mix of bourbon, lemon and rosemary sounds really refreshing and different. I enjoy trying simple drink recipes like this at home, especially ones that don’t need too many ingredients. I was also browsing some food ideas on the Wendy’s Menu 2026 earlier and ended up here while looking for new things to try. Nice recipe, thanks for sharing!

      This bourbon cocktail sounds amazing—love the mix of St. Germain, lemon, and rosemary! The egg white must give it that perfect silky texture too. I’ve been exploring more drink options lately, especially after checking the Outback Steakhouse drinks menu with prices for some new cocktail inspiration. Definitely saving this one to try for my next get-together!

      This is a phenomenal cocktail! I’m bartender exploring his way through cocktails and I really enjoyed this one. My only recommendation is to dry shake the ingredients first and then double strain into your glass. Cheers!
