Raspberries & Rye
A lighter, fresher approach to whiskey, ideal for those who are just learning to love the spirit. Although the recipe calls for a spicy rye, a sweeter-style bourbon or a light Irish whiskey would be just as much at home here.
Makes 1 drink
6 fresh raspberries, plus 3 for garnish
2 oz. rye whiskey
1/2 oz. simple syrup (see below)
3/4 oz. fresh orange juice
2 oz. fresh lime juice
2 dashes orange bitters
Simple Syrup: In a saucepan, combine 1 part sugar with 1 part water. Put the saucepan on medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves. Let sit until cool. Store in a lidded container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Muddle the 6 raspberries at the bottom of a cocktail shaker. Add all the remaining ingredients, except the 3 raspberries for garnish, and ice. Shake well, then strain into a Collins glass over fresh ice. Garnish with the 3 berries speared on a cocktail pick.
