Day 218, Cocktail 216
Yesterday was a quiet evening at home with a ton of stuff to catch up on after Paula and Cookie’s visit. So a simple cocktail was in order and this little number from the Ultimate Bar Book seemed to fit the bill.
Ward 8
- 2 oz rye whiskey
- 1 oz orange juice
- 1 oz lemon juice
- 1 bar spoon grenadine
Fill a rocks glass with a couple of ice cubes. Add the ingredients, stir and then top the glass with ice. Garnish with an orange slice and cherry.
What can I say, I just love the combination of orange and rye. I used Jim Beam rye for this one and it was delicious. The lemon really made this tart. Next time I think I’d add a dash of bar syrup and perhaps a dash of bitters as well.
Cheers!
