2 Easy Bourbon Cocktail Recipes

I have never been much of a bourbon drinker when it is straight or mixed with only one item like water. However, I have enjoyed several bourbon beverages that have had added ingredients like ginger ale. So when I saw these two recipes for mixed drinks that contained bourbon and saw that I would enjoy them, I knew that you might enjoy them as well!

Now that summer is winding down and Labor Day is on the way, these might make a wonderful adult beverage for a get together! Check them out! The Summer Glow sounds especially good to me! What do you think?
