Cocktail time! Don’t let the name of this Brown Derby Spritzer fool you. While you may think that that this drink is named for the Kentucky Derby, it is actually a take on a classic cocktail named after a Los Angeles diner! My favorite cocktails are those that are sweet, sour, and of course…full of bourbon. This recipe fits all of those descriptions and more! Perfect for a hot spring/summer day, I’m definitely going to have this one by my side all season long!
