I think a straight rye, like Wild Turkey or Rittenhouse, would be good, but I haven't tried it. A wheated bourbon, such as Maker's Mark, probably would not be so good. To me, wheaters tend to disappear in cocktails.Chuck Cowderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12191121480961526039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-7359118205389140552012-01-01T18:06:08.499-06:002012-01-01T18:06:08.499-06:00Mr. Chuck,

Have you tried, and would you recommend using a wheated bourbon or rye whiskey, instead of a rye bourbon in this cocktail?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-77295980466444479432011-12-31T23:11:59.438-06:002011-12-31T23:11:59.438-06:00I'm drinking this right now, as my NYE drink. ...I'm drinking this right now, as my NYE drink.

I'm tempted to assemble these ingredients, but wary of the bourbon and champagne bickering once in my stomach. They seem to get along somewhat better when introduced separately.AaronWFhttp://whiskeywonka.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-32495174660603314552011-12-28T14:17:07.432-06:002011-12-28T14:17:07.432-06:00This sounds great.

I never get that excited about New Year's Eve champagne, but champagne with bourbon, that's a different story.skuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00487419662314518931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-39778893179385661112011-12-28T12:41:03.445-06:002011-12-28T12:41:03.445-06:00There is also the Kentucky Champagne Cocktail, whi...There is also the Kentucky Champagne Cocktail, which is a regular Champagne cocktail (bitters soaked sugar cube in your glass of bubbles) plus a shot of bourbon. It works, but it's not as tasty as a Seelbach. A little quick googling also shows a drink with the same name using 1/2 oz of peach liqueur instead of the sugar cube.Sylvanhttp://tastylibations.com/noreply@blogger.com
