We're on hiatus while Gary is out of town shooting a TV show, so here's a clip show! Three of our favorite whiskey drinks with three of our favorite guests: Andrea Savage, Grey DeLisle-Griffin, and John Rogers. The recipes: Institutionally ResearchedA Manhattan-based cocktail that appears lighter on its feet than the traditional version, thanks to the Montenegro and Dolin Blanc vermouth. But it still packs a punch.1 ¾ oz. rye whiskey¾ oz. Amaro Montenegro½ oz. Dolin Blanc Vermouth1 dash Bitter Truth Celery Bitters1 dash Regan’s Orange Bitters Add all ingredients to a mixing glass with plenty of ice and stir until cold. Strain into a cocktail glass and garnish with an orange peel, first giving it a squeeze to express the fragrant orange oils over the top of the drink. The Mint Tea Julep2 oz. mint tea-infused boubon1 oz. fresh-squeezed lemon juice¼ oz. Mathilde Peche peach liqueur¼ oz. simple syrup5 fresh mint leaves2 dashes Fee Bros. Aromatic BittersTo make the mint tea-infused bourbon, steep a mint tea bag in a 4 oz. of bourbon for an hour. Fill a rocks glass or julep cup about ¾ of the way full with crushed ice and place in the freezer to keep cold. Then, in the bottom of a cocktail shaker, gently muddle the mint leaves in the simple syrup. Add bitters, lemon juice, peach liqueur, bourbon, and ice, and shake until cold. Fine strain into over crushed ice and garnish with a fresh sprig of mint. Applewood Old Fashioned1.5 oz. Applewood Smoked Buffalo Trace Bourbon.5 oz.
