I drink beer in the summer, bourbon whiskey in the winter. But I have a holiday tradition, on the solstice I buy myself a bottle of Lairds and spend the rest of the week mixing Jack Roses.

Jack Rose:

  • 1 1/2 ounces applejack or apple brandy
  • 3/4 ounces lemon or lime juice
  • 1/2 ounce grenadine

Shake all ingredients until chilled, double strain into a coupe glass, garnish with lemon twist.

You'll basically never find a bar that stocks applejack, so if you want one you'll have to mix your own.

Depending on how much money I've got, either rum and soda or vodka-martini.

That's for drinking at home, getting pantsdrunk.

Basil smash is my house specialty but I'll experiment with it, had a big phase of getting into mixology this year though it's currently a lot less due to following a strict calorie planning.

Tie between Pisco Sour and Bloody Mary. Usually a night drinking the former will lead to the latter the next day.

Sub "Caesar" for "Bloody Mary" and I'm down.
