A Whiskey Ditch is just whiskey and water. Montana legend says people used to use slushy snow from the edge of a ditch. I don’t know how sanitary that is, but I like using fresh snow.

It’s pretty neat how insanely fast the snow melts when you add the whiskey (bourbon for me tonight). Like cotton candy in water.

Should be no sediment in the drink - if there is then your snow isn’t clean enough. And never use lemon snow!

I’m very excited for summer, but every season has something nice that the others don’t. Though I suppose I could use a shaved ice machine or something…

    Thus far the only bourbon I’ve ever tried is one local to my town - I really like it but will need to experiment someday
