Good Gravy!

Unless you live in a cave you've probably heard about the new trend in cocktails,"stocktails" which are made with both animal stock and bone broth. But wait! There's more! As you may have read on this very blog KFC has been expanding their marketing in some unexpected ways...KFC smartphones,streetwear and bath bombs,so it should come at no surprise that they welcomed the idea of their gravy being used to make stocktails. I can imagine a Bloody Mary made with gravy but the other concoctions just don't do it for me. A Southern Twist,for example,is Kentucky bourbon with gravy, brown sugar and parsley rubbed on the rim of the glass. UGH.
