The Tennessee Sidecar is a variation of the classic Sidecar cocktail, which is traditionally made with cognac, orange liqueur and lemon. The Sidecar is a throwback to when cocktails were made with just a few ingredients, proving that a drink doesn't have to be fancy to taste good.

So what makes this version of a Sidecar so special? A little thing Jack Daniel's likes to call "Tennessee Honey" The original kings of Tennessee Whiskey have really created something special with this one. Honey liqueur blended with Jack Daniel's original Tennessee Whiskey creates a flavor combination with just enough heat, but still goes down as smooth as...well, honey!

A blend of Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey and a unique honey liqueur of our own making, for a taste that’s one-of-a-kind and unmistakably Jack. With hints of honey and a finish that’s naturally smooth, Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey offers a taste of the unexpected.

Family car games you can play with kids on your next road trip

As a parent, one of the biggest challenges of taking a family road trip was always how to keep the kids occupied and entertained while we were driving. Because let's be honest, if your kids aren't entertained, they'll probably be doing one of three things; complaining, annoying each other, or annoying you. As I look back, I realize that some of the most fun we ever had in the car was when we made up silly games, had family singalongs, or created contests out of the most ordinary things. If you're looking for ways to pass the time on your next road trip, try one of these fun family car games!
