Drink American. Drink Bourbon.

Happy 4th of July to everyone!

There’s no better way to celebrate this most American of all holidays than by drinking America’s native spirit – BOURBON. Whether your hanging out at home with family, attending a family reunion or lounging by the pool bourbon is the ideal way to enjoy an adult beverage while also tipping your “hat” to what makes America so great.

I also want to thank everyone who has made Bourbon & Banter a part of their daily routine. I’m very humbled by your loyalty and decision to spend part of your day reading my posts and participating in my efforts to spread the bourbon gospel. I look forward to building our community together and continuing to spread the word of bourbon to those who have yet to experience it.

As you celebrate, today I have two small favors to ask of you.

1) Take a moment and raise your glass to the men and women who serve our country – both now and in the past. It is their sacrifice and dedication that made this country and keeps it what it is today – the best damn country in the world.

2) Take a photo of your bourbon celebration and share it with the group via Twitter (make sure to mention @BourbonBanter), Facebook or direct email to us (we’ll post it for you). Whether it’s a photo of your bourbon in a glass, a picture of you enjoying your beverage or a photo of the bottle with a flag we’d love to see how bourbon is helping you celebrate today.

Have a wonderful and safe Fourth of July, everyone!

PS – If you like the saying on the graphic at the top of the post, let me know. We have our first Bourbon & Banter item coming out soon featuring that very saying. We think you’re going to like it.
