That ginger ale looks really good! I've never had cold brewed coffee. Is it at all like sun-brewing tea?

I love my bourbon as well as other whiskies, but sometimes I like something a lighter in the mouth. I don't know that I've seen that particular bourbon for sale where I live, I'll have to give it a whirl one of these days.

It can be. Use a medium roast, grind it fine. Most recipes will tell you you should use a coarse grind, but they lie. You want a cup or cup and a half per gallon you're making. You'll get very strong coffee, but without the acidity of coffee brewed hot. Use ice or water to dilute it if it's too coffee-ey.

There are more elaborate ways to go about it, and at the far end you get something that should probably be a controlled substance.
