It’s been a while since we’ve done a happy hour post, so we are taking it back to basics with a main ingredient to a perfect Happy Hour.
Every cocktail or mixed drink should have a good base alcohol as the main ingredient. And what better ingredient than Woodford Reserve.
Perhaps Delta knows it’s important to get the base ingredient right. Maybe that’s why they never run out of mini Woodford Reserve bottles in the Sky. Here at Points, Miles & Martinis headquarters, we like to think we’ll never run out of Woodford Reserve either.
Delta In-Flight Coupon Giveaway
Points, Miles & Martinis will give one lucky winner a Delta in-flight coupon and a set of Points, Miles & Martinis cocktail napkins. A winner will be randomly selected one on Monday from all valid entries to receive the prize.
How To Enter

Hope you have a happy, Happy Hour. It’s five o’clock somewhere.

Danny said,
35. Oh, you want a good drink to make with bourbon too? Fine. My favorite is bourbon. Just bourbon. That’s not a mixed drink? Alright, alright. Bourbon on the rocks. Ice counts as mixing, right?
Noah Kimmel said,
Manhattan…and who cares–they all end up in my glass anyway! (but i’d say 30 something)
Arthur H said,
Definitely the best cocktail is Woodford Neat.
Aleks K said,
It takes 35 50 ml mini-bottles to fill up one 1.75 l bottle. A good mixed drink would be a Mnahattan. Or a bourbon-variation of sidecar.

35, and my PDB of choice is Woodford with a bit of Ginger Ale (because you gotta have Ginger Ale on a plane …)
Truthiness said,

A) Impossible to determine without volumes

Jim A said,
I think it’s 35 minis? (1750 by 50ml?) not sure.
I like a Sazerac with bourbon, Woodford is perfect for this (usually made with Rye).

David T said,
35 minis. Best way to drink it: with ice and nothing else.
Andy N. said,
35 mini bottles in a 1.75L big bottle. A great bourbon cocktail is a Derby:
1oz bourbon
3/4 oz lime juice
1/2 oz sweet vermouth
1/2 oz Grand Marnier
Shaken and strained into chilled cocktail/martini glass
Garnish with lime wedge
…and from my college days a “Bourbon Meyer” = Bourbon and Publix Sweet Tea
Emman said,
30 mini bottles……
Extra Credit: Bourbon and Coca-Cola!

Why would you mix good Bourbon with anything? Straight I say.
MattPass said,

Being from the south I would be remiss if I did not suggest a Mint Julep!
Kevin said,

Kyle said,

Terrence T said,
It’ll take 35 of those little babies to fill a bottle….so at $245 per bottle it better be good!
Best Bourbon drink at that price –
-on ice with a splash of water.
If you want a mixed drink, Bourbon Sour is the way to go.
