Bourbon is the keeping-it-real spirit. William Faulkner used to have a bottle within reach while writing his Nobel-winning stream-of-consciousness works. It can be a truth serum or an instant party catalyst, and it’s known to rile up red-blooded American hootin’ and hollerin’.

Social, a newish whiskey-centric bar at the Palms with a selection of more than 30 labels of limited-edition bourbons and single malts, tapped Bulleit to star in its signature libation. Bulleit is known for its bourbon, but Southern Wine and Spirits Master Mixologist J.R. Starkus uses its sister-spirit, rye, in the Social Misfit ($20). It’s served in a chilled flask, an inebriation device usually reserved for sneaking sips during situations deemed inappropriate for drinking. Talk about keeping it real. We’ll raise our flasks to that.

Social Misfit

Ingredients:

1 oz. Bulleit Rye

1 oz. Disaronno Amaretto

½ oz. Nagomi white peach syrup

½ oz. fresh-squeezed lemon juice

Method: Add all ingredients to flask and chill. Shake lightly prior to service.

  • When creating the cocktail, Brett Offutt's goal was to use Old Forester 1920 and island-inspired flavors for an irresistible libation you won’t want to put ...

  • This cocktail was inspired by the fragrances of autumn, including fresh pine, stewed berries and baking spices.

  • Party with Old Forester this holiday season!
