Ah, Bourbon Iced Coffee—because sometimes your coffee needs a little more “kick” than just caffeine. Imagine the smoothness of cold brew coffee meeting the rich depth of bourbon. This isn’t your average iced coffee; it’s your new, sophisticated way to enjoy your java with a hint of rebellion.
I whip this up on those rare, celebratory weekends when I’m feeling particularly self-indulgent. It’s perfect for those afternoons when you want to look cool and slightly dangerous. Or just when you’re really craving a drink that makes you feel like you’ve got it all together.
