We done found ourselves a fine barn for a hoe down!

Well, y'all better be gettin' excited.  We done found a fine barn for a hoe down in Bristol - more information to come. We just gotta convince 'em that they can cope with a hot-dang, thigh-slappin' HOE DOWN.  To convince 'em good and proper, here's a Molly Hatchet tune:


Well, while y'all are enjoying that fine Southern music, you might be thinkin', "damn, I'm gettin' thirsty."  To help y'all, here's one of two refreshing fancy drinks that we like at the Pop Up Hoe Down Co.

Old Fashioned:

1 rounded tsp vanilla sugar
10-12 drops bitters (we like Angostura Orange Bitters, but you ain't got that, so use what y'all have)
Bourbon whiskey (Woodford Reserve is good, Maker's Mark'll do)
Ice
Slice of orange

Step 1:
Mash the sugar and the bitters together in the glass

Step 2:
Place an ice cube in the glass, and pour in whiskey to the top of the cube

Step 3:
Stir until the ice cube has melted

Step 4:
Fill glass with ice and top up with whiskey

Step 5:
Add slice of orange

Step 6:
Refresh yourself after a hard task well done

And seeing as there's more old drunks than there are old doctors:
