Tipple Tuesday: Rye Old Fashioned

Chuck Grimmett1 Comment

Fall has arrived here in NY. With a cool breeze coming through the window as I write this, I can’t think of anything more fitting to imbibe than a rye old fashioned.

There are more variations of this drink than there are grains of sugar in it, but here is my favorite:

Combine the simple syrup, bitters, and rye in a rocks glass and stir. Add the ice cube and garnish with an orange peel and a homemade maraschino cherry.

Tipple Tuesday: Blackberries Three Ways

Chuck GrimmettLeave a comment

I like strong warming drinks in the winter, but when the heat rolls in I prefer light refreshing drinks made with in-season ingredients. Blackberry season is in full swing right now, so here are three refreshing drinks made with fresh blackberries. All three have different liquors and flavors, but each is refreshing in its own way with a wonderful blackberry base.

One is made with gin, one with rye whiskey, and one with vodka and St-Germain. Each of these drinks contains simple syrup. If you need a refresher on how to make it, I’ve got you covered.
