Bourbon was born on the shores of Virginia's James River in 1620 so it is only right that Yellow Wife have a bourbon cocktail of its own.

Combine the following ingredients in a shaker with ice:

· 3 oz (or 3 shots) of your favorite bourbon

· 1/2 cup of lemonade

· 3 tablespoons of honey (or simple syrup if you're not a fan of honey)

*Shake ingredients to chill and pour over ice in a mason jar or glass of your choice. Dress the glass with a sprig of mint leaves and lemon wedge.

YIELD

Makes approximately 5 cups

INGREDIENTS

• 1 small handful sassafras roots, washed in cold water

• 1/2 cinnamon stick

• 1 thin slice fresh ginger

• Maple syrup or honey for serving

• Sparkling water

PREPARATION

Using a heavy knife, chop up the sassafras roots or pound them with the handle until you can smell their spicy

scent. Place the roots in a saucepan with the cinnamon and 6 cups of water and bring to a boil. Decrease the

heat and simmer, partially covered, for 20 minutes. Add the ginger and simmer for 2 minutes more.

Line a fine-mesh strainer with a coffee filter and set over a bowl. Pour the tea through. Sweeten with maple

syrup or honey to taste. Drink hot or serve cold over ice and topped off with sparkling water.
