It’s pretty cold and miserable throughout much of the country right now, but at least the Winter Olympic Games start tonight. Even though it seems like Sochi is doing everything they can to embarrass themselves, it will still be fun to watch the top Olympians of the winter sports compete for gold. And thankfully, the folks at Jim Beam have provided us with a couple delicious whiskey cocktail recipes that will make for a perfect viewing companion this weekend. Stir ’em up, enjoy, and go Team USA!
