The Chamomile-Thyme Brown Derby can be the perfect drink both before and after dinner. I serve this artisanal cocktail in heavy, double old-fashioned tumblers, which feels just right with heavy blankets around your shoulders, warming up by the fire.   Weather in late fall can be unpredictable, but this recipe is a sure thing no matter what mood Mother Nature is in.

 

 

This artisanal Bourbon Brown Derby cocktail warms you up from the inside out, so your guests will enjoy sipping on it inside or out!

  Make plenty: you can serve it for cocktail hour before a meal as well as post-dinner, since the Bourbon-Chamomile combo can simultaneously excite and soothe.
