Hey Fella Whiskey Cocktail Recipe

What is in the Hey Fella Whiskey Cocktail?

A few weekends ago, Scott and I decided to come up with some new cocktails and one of our favorites is the “Hey Fella” Whiskey Cocktail. Don’t ask me how we came up with that name – it’s just a quirky thing we picked.

Why are we coming up with new cocktail recipes, especially since we mostly drink wine and beer? Well, every now and then, we do like to mix it up. But it’s a risk – right?  When you order a signature cocktail, you don’t know what it’s going to taste like or if you will even like it.

You will recall a few weeks ago, I shared my Bloody Mary Recipe. I came up with that, because every time we order Bloody Mary’s, there’s something we don’t like about them. So that’s why we decided to come up with our own.

But what’s the point of that?

Believe or not, if you know what the ingredients are, your bartender will make you a custom drink. So that’s why! By sharing these on our blog we can quickly look up the ingredients and share.

In this recipe, I used Grandpa’s Wheat Whiskey from Bad Dog Distillery out of Arlington.  I went to high school with the owner and master distiller, Dave McGlothern. Scott and I had a great time checking out their tasting room last Fall and trying all of their amazing whiskeys!

Ally’s Bloody Mary Recipe

Ally’s Bloody Mary Recipe – A must for any brunch!

Who doesn’t love a good Bloody Mary? Okay, so some of you don’t like tomato juice. But for the rest of us, we love watching a football game with a delicious Blood Mary.

Whenever Scott and I go on vacation, we love try the different recipes the resorts have. It’s amazing how different they can be.

Ally's Bloody Mary Mix Recipe

This is a tricky drink to make and everyone has a different style. Scott likes his Bloody Mary’s really spicy and not too acidic. I prefer the exact opposite.  Lately, we’ve purchased a few boutique mixes and have liked some of them.  At the same time, we just spent $14 on a quart and it was horrible. It tasted like a jar of pickle juice! What a waste of money.  Why gamble, when you can make your own?

Finding the perfect blend for the both of us.

How do you come up with the perfect blend, when we like opposite things? Scott and I were able to do that, by adding other ingredients and flavors that blended well with each of our likes.

In addition, when it comes to spiciness, you can always add more spice, but you can’t take it out. In this recipe we used regular Svedka vodka (yes, I love this vodka and I’m Swedish too!).  I also garnished them with Mama Lil’s Spicy Asparagus! Let me tell you, these guys have a kick!

Bloody Mary Recipe

This recipe is easy to whip up at home and take with you on your boating trip. It will keep for up to a week in the fridge.  This is the only way to go, when it comes to enjoying a great Bloody Mary!  Enjoy!  Ally
