Indiana Boozy Slings
A nod to the Indiana Bicentennial drinks of the past … with a twist.
We celebrate Indiana’s 200th birthday with celebratory cocktails from the top slingers in the state. Edible Indy partnered with four talented bartenders to bring to life the classic flavors from the 1800s in a drink one might order up today. These artists infused these drinks with Indiana products— from the spices to the booze—but what really make these Indiana is the individuals.
Feeling frisky? Make these at home, or grab a stool at any of these establishments, and order these drinks to wet your whistle.
