Yesterday was literally hot as hell, but that didn’t stop me or the hundreds of whiskey fans from stopping by Loose Nuts Cycles to check out the Bulleit Whiskey trailer! The little guy is called “Woody” and was originally designed for the Neiman Marcus Fantasy Gift Guide and retails at more than $150,000. Created by iconic designer Brad Ford, the Woody is cast from repurposed Bulleit barrels and features a fully stocked bar of Bulleit Bourbon, Rye and 10-Year. It’s been featured on The Today Show, CNN and more. Here’s my coverage along with some recipes from the event-
The Bulleit Bourbon Orange Cruiser and Bulleit Rye Smash cocktails are perfect for the Summer due to they’re fruity, light taste and drinkability.
Bulleit Rye Smash
1.25 oz. Bulleit® Rye
1 oz. Simple Syrup
3 Lemon Wedges
3 Mint Sprigs
3 Dashes Bitters
In an ice filled shaker combine all the ingredients. Shake vigorously and strain into an ice-filled rocks glass. Garnish with a mint sprig.
Bulleit Bourbon Orange Cruiser
1.25 oz. Bulleit® Bourbon
0.75 oz. Mint Syrup
0.75 oz. Pineapple Syrup
4 oz. Fresh Sweet and Sour Mix
6 Orange Slices
1 Mint Sprig
Shake Bulleit Bourbon, mint syrup, pineapple syrup and orange slices with ice and pour (do not strain) into an old-fashioned glass. Add a splash of club soda (optional) and garnish with mint sprig.
Coincidentally, this event aligned with the Atlanta Bicycle Fest which is currently under way thru Saturday.
The Bulleit Woody will continue its journey across the nation to help inspire an elevated tailgate experience in preparation for the Summer months and upcoming football season. By following @BulleitUs on Instagram you can see firsthand where the Woody is heading to next!
