DRUNKEN COLLARD GREENS
Drunken Collard Greens, flavored with bourbon and bacon, is a southern side dish like no other. As much as I love traditional collard greens, adding a splash of bourbon really makes a fantastic pot of collards. The smooth, sweet flavor of bourbon really complements the flavor of the greens.
