Though not always required or called for in a cocktail, the right garnish can add to a drink’s aesthetics, aroma and flavor profile. Many bartenders are now using fruits, berries and herbs, grilled vegetables and fruits and edible flowers as drink adornments, as well as more unusal accompaniments like spherified sake orbs.
Aug. 25 is National Whiskey Sour Day. Here’s a recipe to whip up for the holiday.
1 ½ Parts Kilbeggan Irish Whiskey
1 ½ Parts club soda
¾ Part dry vermouth
¾ Part simple syrup
½ Part fresh Lemon Juice
½ Part fresh grapefruit juice
Dash orange bitters
Combine all ingredients into a mixing glass over ice and shake. Strain into a Collins glass with ice. Garnish with a lemon peel.
