\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

0.75 oz Pendleton Canadian Whiskey
\n1 oz \u00a0Tyrconnell Single Malt Irish Whiskey
\n1 oz Art in the Age Sage<\/a>
\n0.5 oz Rothman & Winter Orchard Apricot
\no.25 oz apple cider vinegar
\n2 dashes Bolivar bitters<\/p>\n

Shake ingredients well with ice and strain over a large ice cube. Garnish with a cherry.<\/p>\n

NOTES<\/strong>:\u00a0Interesting, but not there. I may have gotten a little ambitious and tried too many things at once. The Sage is misused here, and Orchard Apricot gets shadowed by the stronger flavors. I’m not generally a huge Canadian whiskey fan…for me it’s almost sweet like bourbon-but not sweet enough, and spicy like rye-but not spicy enough. It’s only one guy’s opinion, but I just don’t enjoy the balance of it no matter how many times I try to convince myself otherwise. Tempered with the Irish, however, it turned into a flavor I liked a lot more. The idea of using the straight apple cider vinegar is also something I’d like to explore more. It mixed with the whiskeys in a pretty neat way. Worth revisiting, maybe as shrub. Overall, not a very successful drink, but it gave me a few ideas for trials going forward. And I WILL make something I like with the Sage if it’s the last thing I do.<\/p>\n

A little aside about the cherry we used:\u00a0We went with a pickled sour cherry we got canned from Green Aisle Grocery<\/a>, which was really good. If you live in the Philly area, I HIGHLY recommend you check out their canned stuff. When the weather is nicer, they generally have a booth at the Headhouse Farmers Market, and they’ll let you try just about anything they’re selling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
