Jimmy Dean | Cocktail Party

Jimmy Dean

The Jimmy Dean is a tasty, brunch-friendly bourbon cocktail from Jeff Hagley at Restaurant Eugene in Atlanta and named for the famous purveyor of breakfast meats.

The star ingredient is Bärenjäger, a honey liqueur we love to bits. If you don’t have that specific brand, you could try one of the many honey bourbons on the market – but you might want to cut back a little bit on the plain bourbon, just to keep the proof down.

Hagley’s recipe calls for orange pekoe tea, a type of black tea. If you don’t have that type on hand, your favorite black tea will do – we like it with English breakfast tea.

Ingredients

Instructions

Start by brewing the tea, and then allow it to chill a bit.

Bruise the mint leaves with your fingers, and toss them in the shaker. Add all remaining ingredients (except the brewed tea), and shake with ice. Strain into a tall ice-filled glass, top with the tea, and garnish with a freshly-slapped sprig of mint.

Terrific Design!

Absolutely love this app. Gives a great visual representation of the ingredients and the user interface is well designed. Been using it to learn how to make cocktails, the descriptions are great about the drinks. As a novice barman, I love that I am learning the origin of the drink and alternative ways to make the drink. Be prepared to have a wide range of alcohol at you disposal! I can make heaps of drinks with the decent home collection I have, but seeing all the recipes what I could make gets me excited! Highly recommended, everyone loves the person who makes excellent drinks!
