This week we are shaking up the Iron Ranger from master mixologist Erick Castro. The high-proof bourbon sets a bold tone for this tropical refresher. Erick says, “The inspiration came from the fact that you don't see American whiskey in enough modern tiki drinks, which is strange when you consider that the flavors in Bourbon & Rye lend themselves quite well to traditional tropical spices.”
