Ryan loves whiskey and has several types stored in our liquor cabinet. He has a few pricey ones he’ll drink neat, but also some cheaper ones that go well in mixed drinks. This is a cocktail that he started making, and he says that every time he has it he likes it more and more.
Do not waste really peaty or really flavourful liquor in this whiskey cocktail; rather, Ryan uses a smooth Canadian whiskey like Forty Creek or Canadian Club Small Batch. We get the elderflower syrup from Ikea, but any other flavoured simple syrup would also be a nice twist.
Reading The Craft Cocktail Party by Julie Reiner got me more interested in classic cocktails. Although I find them much too strong for my own taste, just knowing the simplicity and history of these cocktails is really intriguing. The Fancy Ryan Whiskey Cocktail follows this tradition by mixing just a couple ingredients to make a strong but tasty drink.
Happy Hour: The Ryan Cocktail
Ingredients
- 1 oz smooth Canadian whiskey like Forty Creek or Canadian Club Small Batch
- 1/2 oz elderflower syrup
- 4 drops peach bitters
