Y’all know that my go-to Bourbon is Four Roses so I am excited to share a FUN Valentine’s Day recipe that features Four Roses Small Batch and their collaboration with OSMO Salt on their Toasted Vanilla Bourbon Salt! I am currently using this salt on everything, from cocktails to food AND it is perfect to create fun date night cocktails! This is the BEST COMBO, and y’all can purchase the OSMO x Four Roses Toasted Vanilla Bourbon Salt and Small Batch Bundle on Reserve Bar for an EPIC Valentine’s Day gift.
