Income Tax Cocktail - Just Like Income Taxes, Member stanmsak

So with the end of tax season I decided to give this cocktail a try. I used Beefeater gin and good quality vermouths along with fresh squeezed orange juice and 2 dashes of Agnosturo. I was amazed at how the sweet vermouth really takes this drink over, although I'm sure that the Agnostura probably helps reinforce the sweet vermouth more than any other of the ingredients. In the end, I was glad to finish this drink, just like I was glad to be done with my taxes!
