Ryan Autry mixes up a Born To Bee Wild (Michele Stueven)
Garrison Brothers Bourbon Recipes For A Kick-Ass Fathers Day
June 15, 2021
Garrison Brothers founder Dan Garrison brought his team to Superba Food + Bread in Venice last week for a swing through L.A. and bourbon tasting, paired with executive chef Rigo Salas's menu.
Ryan Autry, the team's mixologist, prepared Born To Bee Wild and Old Fashioned cocktails featuring the Texas-based distillery's HoneyDew and award-winning small-batch bourbons. A sit-down dinner of signature dishes like smoked trout dip, charred eggplant and fresh cheese with matcha salsa on charred house bread and roasted curry chicken followed on the outdoor FarmSuperba patio, paired with a bourbon flight.
Garrison Brothers introduced the first bourbon whiskey legally made in Texas in 2010, and shared their cooldown cocktail recipes with L.A. Weekly for a kick-ass Father's Day:
