Is there anything better than being home or on a remote holiday with a delicious cocktail as the sun sets over the horizon? When making a cocktail, you either want the mix to be the hero or the alcohol and with this JB sunset cocktail, you want both. Bourbon, like Jim Beam, tends to keep its flavour more when added into a cocktail so that you can still taste it. You can of course use any whiskey or cocktail you have on your shelf too.

JB sunset cocktail suggestions

The fruity cranberry juice is often enjoyed with whiskey and it’s no different here. The cocktail can be sweet but not overwhelming as bourbon is already sweet. Place some brown sugar onto a plate and rim the glass with some lemon juice. Turn the glass over onto the plate and rim the glass with the sugar. The rest of the drink is easy to put together and you can garnish it with some mint or rosemary, depending on your preference.
