Swig & Swine, a slow-cooked BBQ joint in Charleston, South Carolina, recently introduced The Manual to their well-loved The Big Bubba bourbon cocktail and we have to tell you, it pairs perfectly with all things hog. Enjoy The Big Bubba bourbon cocktail while your barbecue smokes or while savoring the final product–the combination of the intense smokey flavors of the BBQ with the slight spice of the ginger-infused bourbon combine to create a savory, solid drink. Here's how to make it:

The Big Bubba
(Created by Patrick Kish, Swig & Swine, Charleston, South Carolina)

1.5 oz Virgil Kaine Ginger Infused Bourbon
2-3 basil leaves
3 oz pineapple juice
Splash of Goslings Ginger Beer
Squeeze of lime

Method: Muddle the basil with the Virgil Kaine, then add ice and pineapple juice. Shake. Top with ginger beer and a squeeze of lime.
