This Bourbon Ball Cocktail tastes like a liquid version of Kentucky’s favorite candy. It makes a wonderful holiday cocktail.

Be sure to make a batch of my Boubon Balls to go with this holiday drink.

Flavored with Pecan Liqueur and white creme de cacao, this creamy and rich cocktail is super easy to sip and has more than enough alcohol to really get the party started. It also makes a wonderful after dinner drink and can take the place of dessert.

Ingredients

Bourbon– you can use any bourbon you like. My favorite for cocktails is Maker’s Mark and 4 Roses.
Pecan Liqueur– There are different brands of Pecan Liqueur and any of them will work. I usually use Sazerac Praline Pecan Liqueur.
White Creme de Cacao– make sure you use clear one and not the dark colored one or your drink will look brownish instead of white.
Heavy Cream

Cocktails in 2 glasses and bourbon balls on a plate.

Pecan Liquour is also great for adding a little pecan flavor to an Old-Fashioned.
