Thirsty Thursday: The Longhorn
Traci Braxton is getting back on the horse this week…literally! In order to be the best brand ambassador she can be for Black Cowboy Whiskey, she is embracing her inner cowgirl. WE were so inspired by Traci, we had to grab a bottle of Black Cowboy for #ThirstyThursday and give it a try! So, get a bottle for yourselves, and try out one of our new favorite whiskey drinks, The Longhorn.
8 Servings
INGREDIENTS:
1 bottle of Black Cowboy Whiskey
2 Cups Mint Simple Syrup

2 cups Sugar
2 cups Water
2 cups Fresh Mint Leaves
DIRECTIONS:
MINT SIMPLE SYRUP:
- Combine water, sugar, and chopped mint leaves in a small saucepan.
