Senator’s Club Blended Whiskey, blueberries and lemon juice are blended to a sorbet-like consistency and served in a chilled silver julep cup, creating the ultimate Southern cooler. Each season, Tipsy Parson changes the flavors of its bourbon slushies, such as Concord grape and peach, and the boozy sipper never seems to go out of style.
