Let’s have a drink!

This drink. It’s got whiskey in it. And is delicious.

(PS – If you aren’t really a whiskey person, you should totally try it anyway. This drink dilutes the whiskey flavor with a bit of sweetness, so you’ll get all the good stuff with less of the overpowering flavor!)

Love this recipe? Try my blackberry whiskey lemonade! Click here for the recipe.When Kyle and I were in Portland over Christmas, we went to a great bourbon bar downtown (he’s a bourbon and whiskey guy so that place was his JAM) and tried some of their signature drinks.

They had one with whiskey, some other stuff I don’t remember, and APRICOT JAM. Seriously. Apricot Jam. And you know what? It was friggin’ delicious.

So when we got home, I spent a day trying to create a similar whiskey drink that would tickle my tastebuds and convert me to whiskey-drinking-dom. And after a few attempts, we have a winner!

Description

Scale
  • 2 oz triple sec (I like Cointreau)
  • 2 oz whiskey (I used Bushmills Irish Whiskey)
  • 1.5 oz lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp. lime juice
  • 1 tsp. granulated sugar (super fine sugar is best, but regular baking sugar will do)

Instructions

  1. In a shaker, combine all ingredients except tonic water with ice and shake well. Fill two glasses with ice and strain half of the drink mixture into each glass.

      Thank you so much, Brita! I JUST installed that “recipe jump” link – I’m so happy to hear you like it! I just used a bit of html and text, nothing too fancy 🙂

    Oh, man. Delish. But Irish Whiskey isn’t bourbon, which is why this drink is so good!
