One trendy new idea intrigued me so much that I decided to try it out myself. <\/span><\/h2>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The idea of drinking whiskey, bourbon, and rye with a slice of pizza, or the whole pie, sounded both savory and delicious. So, I set out on a journey to create the most delicious whiskey, bourbon, and rye cocktails that could pair well with pizza. Pizza is a favorite of everyone. It\u2019s comfort food, right? I know what you are thinking. Pizza and whiskey, nah! Pizza and wine, yes! After doing my research I found that whiskey, bourbon, and rye pair quite nicely with the meat, veggie, and cheese toppings found on most pizzas.<\/span>\n\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Here are some of my favorite pairings. What makes this extra special was that I was able to order take out from these great local pizzerias. I love supporting our local neighborhood small businesses. These pizzas were so delicious, crispy, and the ingredients were so fresh it made cocktail crafting a breeze. Also, there is no shame in eating an extra slice!<\/span><\/strong>\n\n<span style=\"font-size: 16pt;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\nClassic Margarita Pizza by Nola Mia With a Buffalo Trace Manhattan\n<\/span><\/strong><\/span>\n<ul>\n \t<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">2 oz Buffalo Trace<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">1 oz Herring Cherry Liquor<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Served on the rocks\n<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Garnish: Bordeaux cherry<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">*The bittersweet flavor of the Buffalo Trace combined with the cherry liquor pair wonderfully with the acidity of the tomatoes and saltiness of the mozzarella cheese.<\/span>\n<h5><span style=\"font-size: 16pt;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\nFunghi Pizza by Tavolino With a Westbank Sour<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n<ul>\n \t<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">2 oz Wild Turkey<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">.75 oz fresh squeezed lemon juice<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">1 oz simple syrup<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">.05 Tempranillo wine (any full-bodied red)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Served on the rocks; wine floated on top after mixing all other ingredients<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Garnish: lemon zest<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">*Mushrooms and red wine are a match made in heaven, so creating a whiskey cocktail with red wine was easy.
