Hacked from
Cooper Brothers Cocktail
I also was inspired by the Wall Street Journal article. I added a bit of lemon juice for tartness and switched the bourbon for rye which adds a spiciness that takes this drink to a new level.
“I got this drink out of an article that cocktail writer Eric Felten did for the Wall Street Journal. The story was about the St. Germain Elderflower liqueur and the Canton Ginger liqeur, both amazing products. I love bourbon and both these liequers. This made one fabulous drink. Can’t recommend it enough. This may replace my Manhattan for the rest of the winter.”
INGREDIENTS
- 2 oz Rye Whiskey
- ½ oz St-Germain elderflower liqueur
- ¼ oz Domaine de Canton ginger liqueur
- ¼ oz lemon juice
- dash of orange bitters
INSTRUCTIONS
- Stir, stir, stir with ice and then strain into a stemmed cocktail glass.
- If you can muster the energy, twist a piece of orange peel over the top of the drink and garnish with the orange twist. I usually just add the dash of orange bitters instead.
- If you have not tried these two liqueurs, you gotta seek them out. Rittenhouse 100 proof rye whiskey is my favorite of the cheap ryes. Too strong for drinking straight, but mixes great in cocktails. Wild Turkey rye is another great option.
