Garnishing Your Tennessee Heat Drink

When it comes to selecting the perfect Garnish for your Tennessee Heat cocktail don’t be afraid to bring even more heat and spice!

Want it sweet? We suggest some maraschino cherries to help mellow out your drink and bring a little sweetness. If you want to stick with fruit, lime and lemon are always a nice add. Pineapple would really work well with this spicy drink as well.

Spice it up: For some added spice and flare cut up some jalapenos and stick on the side of your drink. If you are feeling extra adventurous throw some INTO your cocktail! You can also use other various spicy peppers to garnish if you prefer another type.

How About a Mocktail?

If you are planning on having some friends over and you know some won’t be drinking, consider having a mocktail on hand for them. This way everyone can enjoy the heat of Tennessee.

For this recipe we recommend replacing your Jack Daniels with 1 oz of coke or pepsi (depending on preference).

For your tequilas consider purchasing a non-alcoholic version and add 2 oz of that to your drink. Add a splash of chipotle and a splash of jalapeno sauce to your drink and mix well. Include your cranberry and sprite as usual. This will create a very similar taste to the original without the alcohol content.
