Spring's Freshest Flavor: Pappy Van Winkle Bourbon Barrel-Aged Infused
  Basil & Mint Vinaigrette

Spring has arrived with the promise of blooms breaking through after a long winter, crisp, cool air greeting us with the morning sun, and plentiful sunshine for longer days spent outside. Spring is the season for outdoor celebrations, with us craving lively flavors, fresh recipes, and easy entertaining options for spontaneous gatherings. 

We yearn to get our hands dirty in our gardens, and we reach for recipes that call for bright citrus, fragrant herbs, and the best of Spring’s seasonal, ripe, and bursting flavor. We want recipes that rely on vibrant greens, herb and citrus-infused flavors, and, of course, our favorites from our Pappy Van Winkle Bourbon Barrel-Aged signature gourmet collection.

Like this elegantly simple dressing, Pappy & Company Basil and Mint Vinaigrette, with its blooming, fresh, and herby flavor, the zest of bright citrus, tangy Dijon mustard, and a hint of oaky Pappy Van Winkle barrel-aged sweetness. It's elegant yet simple, perfect for all your spring gatherings and celebrations or a simple Sunday brunch.

Reflecting the bright green grass, invigorating breeze, and tender buds of spring’s arrival, this dressing is bursting with the fresh flavors of Spring. Drizzle over tart watercress, crisp radishes, earthy microgreens, or a crunchy salad of leafy romaine, cucumbers, and celery for a refreshing, versatile, and tangy side salad or featured meal.  

 You simply can’t beat the combination of fresh basil and mint in the spring. Complementary flavors with ripely abundant and signature aromas, they are a knock-out of the freshly sprouted flavor we love to use in our favorite spring dishes. Mint, of course, really shines in spring, with its namesake cocktail teasing the horizon with the promise of freshly muddled Mint Juleps arriving just in time for Spring’s best holiday - the Kentucky Derby.
