The Say Something (kind of a Juan Collins)
Yield 1 cocktail
Ingredients
For Cocktail:
- 1.5 oz silver tequila or good quality vodka
- 1 oz Lillet Blanc
- 1 oz bittersweet vermouth - Odd Society Spirits makes a great one
- 1 raw brown sugar cube
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Ice
To Serve:
- 1 Tbsp white sugar
- 3/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1 lemon wheel slice
Instructions
- Place white sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl.. Run a wedge of lemon around the edge of the glass. Gently dip the lip of the glass in the sugar/cinnamon mixture. Set aside.
- Place all ingredients for the cocktail in a mixing glass, cocktail shaker or mason jar. Muddle to break down the sugar cube.
- Add ice.
- Stir until your arm hurts (about 30 seconds). Strain into prepared glass and garnish with a lemon wheel.
Notes
- You can sub vodka for the tequila, for a more subtle alcohol flavour.
- Also, feel free to add a splash of soda to the drink if desired. Or, don't.
