One of our favorite things about our travels on the 127 yard sale is near the end of the trip when we head down the Bourbon Trail, tasting and buying and touring distilleries. For the past two years we have been stocking up on Buffalo Trace’s Bourbon Cream which is a phenomenal cream liquor that we love to share with friends as a nice after-dinner treat. Unfortunately we always run out of the case we buy not long after we get home so I thought, why not make some at home!

This makes an awesome host gift. This year I am making it for all my Christmas presents! I have also included a non-dairy/lactose-intolerant/vegan version because really, EVERYONE should try this. My version is a little stronger than Buffalo Trace’s, so beware!

The recipe is fantastic to drink on it’s own or as an addition to iced/hot coffee for a brunch co*cktail. At the distillery, they served it with root beer which was delicious!
