This Bourbon Cocktail Has a Secret Root Beer Twist #cocktailrecipe #bourbon #shorts

Looking for a rich, spirit-forward cocktail with a nostalgic twist? Welcome to Episode 70 of Thirsty Thursday Cocktails! Tonight we are stirring up The Velvet Root—a bold and silky version of a classic Black Manhattan. We pair the muscle of 120-proof Knob Creek Single Barrel Bourbon with the classic Sicilian silkiness of Amaro Averna. Then, we add a fun Americana kick with Rebel Root Beer Whiskey for those distinct sarsaparilla, birch, and anise vibes. Tied together with molasses and orange bitters, it delivers incredible notes of chocolate, leather, charred oak, and a black pepper finish. Stir one up tonight! Please drink responsibly. 🥃✨ Full Recipe: 2 oz Knob Creek Single Barrel Bourbon .75 oz Amaro Averna .50 oz Rebel Root Beer Whiskey 3 Dashes Molasses Bitters 1 Dash Orange Bitters Garnish: 1 Luxardo Cherry #Shorts #CocktailShorts #BlackManhattan #BourbonCocktail #KnobCreek #AmaroAverna #RootBeerWhiskey #Mixology #HomeBartender #ThirstyThursday #WhiskeyLovers #CocktailRecipe #BourbonJourney #CraftCocktails #DrinkResponsibly
