If you’ve taken the non-alc route this January and are at a loss for drinks to try, why not let Chicago bar Boleo introduce you to a drink that is far from being a one-trick pony.
Horsin’ Around is a mix of Kentucky 74 Non-Alc Bourbon, Serrano Pepper Syrup, Lemon Juice, and Ginger Beer, that’s not only super tasty but also incredibly easy to make.
But the best thing about this cocktail is its versatility. A riff on a Mule, you can make it just as easily with a variety of non-alc spirits (or even real booze at the end of the month).
So join Ania Bilinska as she shows us how this drink is made and talks a little about her spectacular roof top bar.
