F&D’s Cocktail Contessa columnist Heather Wibbels is an award-winning whiskey and cocktail author and the managing director of Bourbon Women. She is a digital content creator and photographer, creating whiskey drinkers one cocktail at a time.
In addition to Heather’s writings here at F&D, her creations can be found in Bourbon Plus, American Whisky Magazine, Drinkhacker, Insider, The Manual, Alcohol Professor, and The Bourbon Review.
You can find her book, “Bourbon is My Comfort Food,” online or order it at independent booksellers.
In the current Summer 2024 issue of F&D, Heather takes the weather into account.
Gin’s ability to combine in an approachable manner with complex flavor elements like fresh fruits and herbs makes it the perfect base spirit for warm weather sippers.
Recipes are included for Poolside 75, Gin and Tonic del Sol, Hive Five Sour, 100 Degree Daze and Gintle Frappe — and I needn’t remind Louisvillians that we’ll be experiencing a sticky 95 degrees today.
COCKTAIL CONTESSA | Ginning for summer flavor: Heat and humidity cry out for the crisp aromatic clarity of gin and fresh flavors. The Contessa answers the call.
