Here are two of my favorite things - whiskey and Barbecue! Below I give you my Bourbon Glazed Tri Tip Recipe - you can prepare it either on a BBQ or just as easily in the oven. Now you could serve a big Zin or WA Syrah with this but I like to make pitchers of Whiskey Gingers AKA Tennessee Mules. Tennessee Mule 3 parts Ginger Ale 1 part Jack Daniels No 7 Squeeze of lime juice plus more slices for garnish Plenty of ice Refreshing and a great pairing for my Tri Tip recipe Maple Bourbon Glazed Tri Tip Steak ________________________________________ 2-3 lb.
