If you're looking for bourbon cocktails that highlight the delightful combination of bourbon and fruit liqueurs, there are a couple of standout options you might enjoy:

1. Fancy Free: This sophisticated cocktail blends bourbon with maraschino cherry liqueur. The cherry liqueur lends a subtle sweetness while orange and Angostura bitters provide a balanced and aromatic complexity. It's perfect for those who appreciate a refined and layered flavor profile.
Rating: 3.83/5

2. Frank Bama: Named after a character in Buffett's novel, this cocktail is a take on the classic Alabama Slammer. It features a mix of bourbon with sloe gin and peach bitters, offering a fruity and slightly tart experience. With the addition of orgeat and citrus juices, it becomes a playful and refreshing option.
Rating: 3.74/5

3. Red, White, and Blueberry: This cocktail is a refreshing mix that includes lime, orange, and lemon juices alongside bourbon and a touch of mint. While it does not contain a fruit liqueur per se, the combination of fresh berries like blueberries and raspberries introduces a natural fruity sweetness that complements bourbon perfectly.
Rating: 3.83/5

Each of these cocktails offers a wonderful way to enjoy the rich, warming notes of bourbon accented with delightful fruit flavors, making them both classy and refreshing choices for a variety of occasions.
