In our latest video, we're showing you how to make a new bourbon drink!

Joe found this drink recipe online and thought it would be a great idea to share it!  It's super easy to make and tastes amazing!

It's called The Revolver and, as a cocktail, it's a star!  This modern classic is easily reproducible since it only has three simple ingredients: bourbon, coffee liqueur, and orange bitters.

The Revolver was invented in 2004 by a bartender named Jon Santer in San Francisco.  He wanted to make something different, with readily available materials that anyone with a little bit of skill could reproduce.  The key is to create the drink with the proper ratio of ingredients to ensure that the flavors will combine properly.

THE REVOLVER
2 oz Bullet Bourbon
0.5 oz Kahlua
2 dashes of Orange Bitters

Add all ingredients to a rocks glass over a large piece of ice and stir.  
Garnish with a flamed orange peel or a regular orange peel.

Oswego, IL

Anchor Bar in Oswego Illinois is a new restaurant that opened a few months ago.  Little did we know that this is the same Anchor Bar that is from Buffalo New York!

Buffalo is the original location of Anchor Bar and Anchor Bar is the home of the original Buffalo wings!

Created by Teressa Bellissimo in 1964 with her secret sauce,  the wings were an instant hit and it didn’t take long for people to flock to the bar to experience this new taste sensation. From that evening on, Buffalo Wings became a regular part of the menu at the Anchor Bar.  The phenomenon created in 1964 by Teressa Bellissimo has spread across the globe. Although many have tried to duplicate Buffalo Wings, the closely guarded secret recipe is what makes these the “Best Wings in the World.”

In our latest video, we're trying the Orange Bird Cake Pop at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort!

This yummy and sweet snack is exclusive to Disney's Grand Floridian Resort.  You can get it at Gasparilla Island Grill in the bakery section.  

It's designed to look like an Orange Bird sipping cup, straw included!  The icing is a thin fondant that is light and not super sweet.  It also has hints of marzipan, as well, which adds to the flavor.  The cake is moist and dense, but not heavy.  It sticks to your fork while eating and doesn't fall apart.  However, it doesn't have a heavy, thick, super sweet consistency or taste.  It's a perfect combination and a very enjoyable snack, indeed!

So, if you're at the Grand Floridian Resort or close enough to swing by, then head over to the Gasparilla Island Grill for a tasty little treat!
