Last week I was in Vegas with the guys from Jim Beam for the celebration of their newest addition Red Stag. (You can read the post here.)

Besides drinking enough of the stuff to soak three livers, I also got to spend some time with Bobby G., the Master Mixologist for Beam. And the guy responsible for my perpetual 4-day intoxicated state.

Bobby's mixed up some great cocktails using Red Stag, and he put together a few videos showing the proper way to mix them. Which is great for you guys who are mixing drinks for your girl and don't want to look like an asshat behind the bar.

In this vid, once you get through the minute-long Kid Rock ad, Bobby puts a new twist to three classic cocktails by adding in the black cherry-flavored bourbon.

Make sure to check out how to cut and burn a lemon rind to release the oils. Great stuff for your next party... just don't set the place ablaze.
