Picking the best bourbon of all time is objectively impossible. Ask five bourbon fans, and you’ll get dozens of answers, along with enough footnotes and asterisks to rival the King James Bible.

Much of the drink’s holiday-specific appeal can be explained by its color: The main elements of the drink are Campari, lemon juice, and syrup, so it pours a flowery, reddish pink.
