Moonshine Martini, check. Jalapeno Margarita, check. The guys racking up the hits share their favorite drinks with you.
2014 has been a huge year for Little Big Town. CMA Vocal Group of the Year. Grammy, CMT, ACM, and ACA awards nominations. A Daytime Emmy. Their sixth studio album, Painkiller.
And now the List of “Manly” Cocktails.
◊♦◊
Jimi Westbrook and Phillip Sweet are the men of Little Big Town. But they’re more than just voices, guitars, and half of a group of hard-working musicians. It’s easy to forget that when the crowds are gone and the trucks packed, they’re just a couple of guys who like good food and drink.
So grab a glass, put on their newest album, Painkiller, and have a Moonshine Martini or a Jalapeno Margarita with Phillip and Jimi.

“This is my favorite at the moment. Simply pour over ice and/or, add lemon slice. So smooth!” Phillip Sweet
And while you’re looking at the drink menu, take a moment to learn who these guy are.
Phillip Sweet is a very loving & sensitive guy! Would you be surprised to find out he is into nature, spiritual (crystals, karma), and is a great dad to 7-year-old daughter Penelopie? He’s a football fan, loves to play basketball, and like many of us, loves the newest things in technology. Doesn’t change the fact, though, that he’s a self-described “kind of a hippie at heart”. Like bandmate Jimi, he loves food but is not a great cook. Luckily, you don’t have to be able to make it to enjoy the good stuff.
Jimi Westbrook is a total “guy’s guy!” Hunting, fishing, working out, playing basketball, camping. He’s an amazing dad to his 4-year-old son Elijah, doesn’t have to worry about missing his wife (his wife, Karen Fairchild, is with the band). You’d probably expect that he loves football (Alabama) and plays fantasy football, but add fashion into that and he’s broken the “man mold”, just like bandmate Phillip. Jimi’s also about good food and drink, loves bourbon/margaritas, and willingly gave up his favorite recipes.
Thanks, guys!
