Welcome to the members-only content area of the Bourbon Women community blog!
We created this area as a benefit to our members. It will contain cocktail recipes, food pairing suggestions, and more, all carefully crafted or curated by Heather Wibbels, our Chair of the Board of Directors, also known as The Cocktail Contessa.
We want to hear your feedback on this content. Any recipes you love? Anything you want to learn more about? You can leave a comment right on the posts!
The last year has been difficult for everyone, but we hope to bring a little bit of happiness into your lives with these posts. Right now they will come out every other Wednesday, but the more you read, the more we will produce!
Also, if you haven’t yet, check out our new Meet The Makers series on the public side of the blog – these will be coming out once a week on Mondays. Please share those with your friends if you like what you are reading – people need to know how much fun we are having at the Bourbon Women!
