What are some good things to mix with bourbon whiskey?

Of course, sweet tea is a great choice. Cola and ginger ale  are also a popular mixers for this liquor. Bourbon is a popular choice for sours and collins drinks as well.

If you also want a non-alcoholic fruit tea to serve, try my Raspberry Iced Tea or Peach Iced Tea… you could always spike those too if you want.
