I got a few more recipes that are especially good here in early fall.
Ward 8:
2 oz whiskey (any whiskey will do. I prefer half scotch and half bourbon)
1 oz lemon juice (fresh squeezed)
1 oz orange juice (fresh squeezed(
splash of grenadine (see my recipe a few posts back)
Shake all ingredients in a shaker with ice and strain into a chilled glass, a single old fashioned glass or coup is ideal. Garnish with orange and lemon slices.
Gin Tea Lemonade:
1 1/2 oz tea infused gin (recipe below)
1 oz lemon juice
1 oz simple syrup
water, sparkling water or champagne
(infuse four or five black tea bags in a cup and half of London dry gin for about three to four hours)
In a Collins glass, mix stir the gin, lemon juice and syrup with ice. Top up the rest of the glass with the water or champagne. Garnish with lemon zest.
If you use champagne, it will be a strong drink. I prefer the lower alcohol watered version.
