Name of Drink: Ramblin’ Man
Bartender: Susie Hoyt
Name of Bar: The Silver Dollar in Louisville, KY
Favorite way to drink bourbon: The Sazerac
While the Silver Dollar, in Louisville, Kentucky, was designed after a Bakersfield, California, honky-tonk, it has warmly embraced its bluegrass home. The bar carries over 30 whiskey and bourbon varieties—all from Kentucky. Using local ingredients is a popular theme throughout the restaurant and bar, as is evident in their cocktail the Ramblin’ Man. “This cocktail came from an assignment from a local paper asking for a drink with the smallest carbon footprint,” says Beverage Director Susie Hoyt. “All of the ingredients are from a range of 53 miles from the bar, including with the Charter 101 and Peychaud’s coming from Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky.”
