Dancing with the Star

Guest Blogger: @kathleenbush

A couple of weeks ago, I was Dancing with the Stars, the Happy Star that is. While Tara was recovering from her softball accident, I dutifully and happily stepped in to cover the Carl’s Jr. Bourbon & Burgers event at the hip Crown Bar in Hollywood. The super-exclusive event launched the franchise’s brand new Kentucky Bourbon Burger.

Also at the party were Andy Puzder, CEO of Carl’s Jr., celeb mixologist Erica Lancelotti, who handcrafted a signature bourbon drink for the event—the Twisted Bourbon, and Laker girls. Other LA bloggers were there too including Esther from EStarLA. Although, the best celeb sighting of the night? The Happy Star mascot breaking it down on the dancefloor with a hot babe for most of the night.

Check out the below video from the event to see my interviews with the CEO and learning more about bourbon from the mixologist.


Here is the cocktail recipe for the Carl’s Jr. Twisted Bourbon, which was bour-bastic semi-fantastic!:
· ½ Lemon & ½ Lime – sliced & muddled
· Ice
· 1 Tsp Agave Nectar
· 3 oz. Bourbon
Shake vigorously. Top with club soda. Cheers!
