The jimmy dean is a tasty, brunch-friendly bourbon cocktail from jeff hagley at restaurant eugene in atlanta and named for the famous purveyor of breakfast meats. The star ingredient is brenjger, a honey liqueur we love to bits. If you dont have that specific brand, you could try one of the many honey bourbons on the market but you might want to cut back a little bit on the plain bourbon, just to keep the proof down. Hagleys recipe calls for orange pekoe tea, a type of black tea. If you dont have that type on hand, your favorite black tea will do we like it with english breakfast tea.
