Winter is here, and so is the party season. No party is complete without you showing off your bartending skills, and here are few cocktail recipes using Jim Beam as a base. Right since its inception in 1795, Jim Beam has produced its bourbon exactly the same way, though it was given the name in 1933 after Colonel James B. Beam, who rebuilt the business following Prohibition.
You could throw these facts around while you shake up these cocktails up and be the star of the party!
