At the end of a stunning week, here’s how you make an Improved Whiskey Cocktail.
This is a Jerry Thomas drink that dates back to the 1870s. A 19th century “whiskey cocktail” is what we now call an Old Fashioned: whiskey with sugar and bitters. An improved whiskey cocktail is that, but with the addition of two other sweetening agents in very small proportions.
First:
- Swirl absinthe in glass, throw out the absinthe and fill the glass with ice
In mixing glass:
Add ice to the mixing glass and stir. Strain into your prepared glass. Add a lemon twist to the drink as a garnish.Recommended
