Homemade Sneaky Pete Recipe
Bourbon whisky is an American whisky that is matured in oak barrels and distilled mostly from corn. The distilling of bourbon began in the 18th century. Although bourbon can be produced anywhere in the United States, the South and Kentucky in particular have become inextricably linked to the sneaky Pete recipe – A drink made with Rye Whiskey and Bourbon Cream.
A Sneaky Pete is a cocktail almost like a white Russian, but with whisky. You can enjoy it after dinner as a nightcap or any time you want a simple, comforting drink that will make you feel fantastic. This cocktail only requires three essential ingredients. This cocktail can be made with either milk or cream, depending on how thick you like your creamy cocktails. As the ice melts, it will get diluted. The diluting effect can be reduced by using an ice ball or huge ice cubes.
“Sneaky Pete” used to be commonly referred to as slang for inexpensive liquor or fortified wine. But it can also refer to alcoholic beverages with a pleasant taste that causes one to drink more than they intend.
