Make the holidays merry and brighter with Brown-Forman

 

Our friend Whiskey Pete from Brown-Forman was in the studio with Archie to talk holiday drinks during the Joe Show Drive at 5. Pete brought different cocktails for Archie to try using a variety of Brown-Forman staples, including Jack Daniel’s, Finlandia Vodka, Fords Gin, and Slane Irish Whiskey – all readily available at a liquor retailer near you. Pete’s drinks always focus on one theme: Simplicity with easy-to-make and easy-to-find ingredients. Find the recipes for each cocktail below so you can try them at home. Make them for your upcoming holiday party and impress your friends and family. And if you’re looking for great holiday gifts, Jack Daniel’s, Woodford Reserve, and Korbel Champagne all make great gifts. You can even find affordable, value-added gift sets in stores – all you have to do is add a bow. Please remember to drink responsibly.
