Is Flat Matthew ready to shake up a Longbranch Branch Water cocktail?

Branch Water

• 2 parts Longbranch bourbon
• Juice of half a lime
• Top with sparkling water
• Build in highball glass
• (Optional: top with your favorite Dorito chip)

Thinking about this cocktail, it would be tasty with the 3D Doritos Crunch Spicy Ranch. The lime juice is a bright contrast to the creamy, spicy ranch flavors. While it might be difficult to use the 3D Doritos Crunch as a garnish, you can just have a bowl to the side. Or, another idea would be to add some Doritos dust to the side of the glass.

Since Longbranch Bourbon, from Wild Turkey, is an approachable bourbon it can pair well with a variety of food choices. From a bowl of your favorite snacks to Texas BBQ to even a slice of pecan pie, the food and beverage pairings are many.

Additionally, Longbranch Bourbon is just as enjoyable sipped neat as it is in a cocktail. Given the connection to this year’s big game, it could be the beverage to toast a team’s epic victory.

What do you think of this food and beverage pairing? Do you think Matthew McConaughey would say it is alright?
