Canadian Cocktail

Old-fashioned Glass

Glass Guide- Old-fashioned Glass

Canadian whiskey combines with the orange flavor of curaçao, lemon juice and a hint of Angostura bitters for a Canadian Cocktail. This drink can either be shaken with cracked ice and strained or blended into a smoothie. Either way, it's a wonderful twist of flavor, but I do recommend using orange curacao (or triple sec) as the blue variety makes a mucky looking, semi-unappetizing cocktail. Skip the lemon juice and you have a Marlene Dietrich Cocktail

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 oz curaçao
  • 1/2 oz lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 oz Canadian whiskey
  • 1 tsp sugar syrup (optional)
  • a dash of Angostura bitters

Preparation:

  1. Pour the curaçao, lemon juice, Canadian whiskey, sugar syrup and Angostura bitters into a cocktail shaker with cracked ice.
  2. Shake well.
  3. Strain into an old-fashioned glass.

Option: Pour the ingredients into a blender with 3/4 cup of ice and blend well.
