MERRY CHRISTMAS!! This recipe is an interesting mix, one I haven't seen before: bourbon, strawberry, bitters, and ginger. I'm not sure how it will turn out, but my son, the cocktail master, is going to give it a try.
INGREDIENTS
1 chopped strawberry
3⁄4 oz. lemon juice
1⁄2 oz. simple syrup
2 oz. Wild Turkey bourbon (we used Makers Mark)
2 dashes Angostura bitters
2 oz. ginger beer
Strawberry slice, for garnish
Muddle the strawberry, lemon juice, and simple syrup in a cocktail shaker. Add the bourbon, bitters and ice. Shake and strain into a tall glass filled with ice. Top with a floater of ginger beer (pour a little carefully on top), and garnish with the strawberry.

Part of the problem with this is the SUPER hot/sharp ginger beer. I do NOT recommend this brand - even by itself, it burns all the way down. But once you get past the floater, you can actually taste the drink. One of us gave it a 3, the rest a 2. It's just... odd. You could try a milder ginger beer or use ginger ale, or leave that off altogether. But for us, this isn't a keeper.
