Tardy St. Nick

'Wish I'd posted this sooner, but they'll taste great until at least New Year's Day—maybe even later.

St. Nick Sour (variation)
2 oz. Bourbon or Rye
1 oz. orange juice
1/2 oz. fresh lemon juice
1/4 oz. almond syrup (I used Torani's "Orgeat")

Put enough ice for one drink into a cocktail shaker.
Add ingredients and shake vigorously.
Pour into a glass.
Garnish with spiral-cut orange slice and lemon twist if you're feeling fancy.
Enjoy at will.

Happy New Year to all! 'Make it a good one.

I will give both recommendations a try, Bloof.

This evening's cold weather mixology included 86 proof Evan Williams 1873 and 100 proof Rittenhouse Bonded Rye. The 1873 blew a mellow tenor, the Rittenhouse higher alto notes. Both delicious.

Cheers.
