This one isn’t super exciting, but it’s the drink I make for myself just about every time we have mint in the house. Somewhere between a Mint Julep and an Old Fashioned, it’s quick and easy, and a good drink for people that like the taste of whiskey.<\/p>\n

The Curfew<\/strong>
\n3 oz Rye (Your choice. It’s a whiskey drink, so just use what you like. Bourbon works, too.)
\n1 oz simple syrup
\n10 mint leaves
\n2 maraschino cherries
\n<\/a>1 tsp of the syrup in the cherry jar
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

Muddle the mint and cherries & cherry syrup with the mint in the simple syrup. Add a couple ice cubes, and pour rye over the whole thing. Stir a few times, and garnish with a cherry if you’re so inclined.<\/p>\n

NOTES: I probably would omit the cherry syrup if you’ve only got store bought on account of how gross that neon red stuff is. With the home-made maraschino cherries, the syrup is goddamn delicious.\u00a0 And again, I know. Sorry about the pictures. I’m about to start a letter-writing campaign to Nikon to get Jen’s camera back. It’s taking FOR-EV-AH.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
