A Haiku or Two, on Bourbon

October 18, 2014

Haiku52:
Our thoughts on food and cooking
In seventeen beats. 

Apple Peel Bourbon

Sarah:

Shop the Story

things i’d rather drink:
rosé, tequila, rum, gin,
dirty street water.

Marian:

We'd drink it, mixed with
ginger, in red cups. "Game Day"
was just an excuse.

Improve your ganache:
add 1 T. of bourbon per
1 T. of butter.

Good bourbon whiskey
soaks the fruit and wrapping cloth
for Mother's best cake.

Oh! Bourbon, so sweet.
Stirred into 10x makes a
mighty fine icing.

What ever season,
winter, spring, summer, or fall,
bourbon suits them all.

Two fingers, neat, in
crystal, at day's end; gold leaves,

Bourbon and branch, moonshine
in fruit punch, law school parties
in the Commonwealth.
