This is my new favorite cocktail for summer. It's a refreshing drink when sitting outside on a patio with a cocktail and a cigar. I was enjoying these last night on the patio of J Buck's in Clayton while smoking a Padron 1964 Principe Natural.
Here's the recipe:
Ingredients:
- 2 oz Bourbon (Makers Mark)
- 2/3 oz Lemon Juice
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 1 maraschino cherry
- Stir sugar and lemon juice together in a shaker.
- Add bourbon.
- Fill shaker with ice.
- Shake bourbon, lemon juice, and sugar.
- Strain into a martini glass, or serve over ice in an old fashioned glass.
- Garnish with a maraschino cherry.
Traditionally these are served in a martini glass or a whiskey sour glass. However, I prefer mine in an old fashioned glass with ice.
