Georgia On My Mind is a wonderfully flavored cocktail. In fact it was so good that the judging panel chose it as the winning cocktail for August 2010's Bourbon Cocktail Contest. Created by Judy Bronson, who writes the Cocktations blog and is a psychologist by trade, this drink is one that is not only well put together, but easy to make. The ingredients, from the bourbon and liqueur to the nectar and bitters are all easy to find so anyone can enjoy this great drink.
