Description

If you think you don’t like whiskey, think again! This one is another play on a classic (“The Blinker”). We’re swapping out the grenadine for fresh grapefruit juice and using our favorite liqueur, St. Germain, to lightly sweeten the drink. I first had this cocktail in Charleston, South Carolina, and it quickly became a go-to (I highly recommend The Bar at Husk if you’re ever in the Charleston area). We recommend using Rye Whiskey, but Bourbon works too if that’s all you have on hand.

Ingredients

Units Scale

8 oz. rye whiskey
2 oz. St. Germain liqueur

2 oz. lemon juice

Instructions

Prepare 4 short cocktail glasses and fill them with ice.
Add all ingredients to a shaker, then fill the shaker with ice. Shake vigorously.
Strain an even quantity into the 4 glasses and enjoy!
