Orange Whiskey Cocktail
1 jigger rye whiskey
1 jigger orange juice
1 jigger charged water
1 dash Peychaud bitters
1 lump sugar
Mix the ingredients in a barglass, pour into a shaker with crushed
ice and shake vigorously. Strain into chilled cocktail glass.
Prepare in generous quantities, for your guests will offer their
glasses for more.
While rye is indicated in the recipe you may substitute
Bourbon if that is your choice ... but sidestep Scotch
or Irish. The addition of the carbonated water gives
this one a little more sparkle than if you use plain water.
The same cocktail can be made by substituting Orange
Wine for the orange juice. In some New Orleans homes
the celebrated Louisiana Orange Wine, made in the
orange groves below the city, is used in preference to the
plain orange juice. Many experts prefer Bourbon to rye
in this particular cocktail.
