I mean what were they thinking?

Don’t have time to make it now? Pin it for later!

This Whiskey cocktail is so smooth.  It’s a perfect after dinner drink because of its sweet notes or just a great sipper any time.  John is more of a tequila guy but this whiskey drink has him widening his horizons.

The secret to a good cocktail is using great ingredients.  We are partial to Templeton Rye Whiskey and Grand Marnier for this cocktail.  If it doesn’t taste good, it’s not going to get better mixed into a cocktail. How about you, what is your favorite beverage?  Do you like to mix them up or stay with your favorites?

  1. Stop will ya? I knew we had much more in common in the alcohol department than just plain wine LOL! Sign me up for the whiskey tour. This looks so tempting, it's just lunch time here, and I've come back from volunteering in the garden. My tired and achy bones are crying out for this drink. Well done John & Julie!! I'll just take one please, not sure I'll be vertical if I partake in more :) p.s. Love, love, love Grand Marinier.

    • Hilarious Loretta! I was in the kitchen all afternoon and am now decompressing with a glass of wine. I'm afraid if I went for the whiskey right now I'd be face down in the sheets in about 5 minutes. Try one of these when you're not beat and let me know what you think.
