Mr. E is not a fan of the cocktail. Unless the cocktail looks like this:
Maker's Mark is his favorite, so we always have it in the house. Untouched by me. If I were to drink whisky on the rocks, I believe you'd find me hours later, lying on the bathroom floor to feel the cool, cool tiles on my face. <*insert college flashback here*>
So, when we were at PF Chang's recently
You'll also need this stuff:
Honey of a Whisky Sour
{inspired by PF Chang's Twisted Whisky Sour, makes 1}
for the honey simple syrup:
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup water
for the cocktail:
1/8 cup Maker's Mark Whisky
1 TBSP Cointreau
3 TBSP honey simple syrup
3 TBSP orange juice
1 TBSP freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 dashes bitters
maraschino cherries
For the simple syrup, combine the honey and water in a small saucepan. Bring to just a simmer, then remove from heat and let cool. Store in the fridge.
For the cocktail, whisk all of the ingredients, except the cherries, in a bowl (or use a cocktail shaker filled with ice). Pour over ice. Add cherries, they're mandatory.
Perfect for New Year's Eve, Birthday Eve, or Saturday Eve!
From Mr. E & me to you....CHEERS! May 2013 be your best year yet.
Happy New Year to you and Mr. E!

ReplyDeleteI thought our agreement was..."What happens at PF Chang's STAYS at PF Chang's!" Ha! I'll toast to another good year for us, Sweetness! Keeping you close is the only New Years resolution I'll ever need. Bottoms up! LOVE, Mr. E
ReplyDeleteYou made me cry. ♥
DeleteOkay!
DeleteMr. E gives me goose bumps!
Uh-Oh!
Is that bad?
So SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!

This looks so tasty! I have a question though, you don't use all of the honey/water mixture do you? Add it just to taste? I love honey but have never thought to make a drink out of it.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Bridget!
ReplyDeleteBridge, Great minds drink alike! What is it with fine bourbon, orange liqueur, bitters and maraschino cherries this New Year’s Eve? Today, just posted a Ginger-Orange Bourbon Manhattan called the Ginger Boulevard (after the Boulevard Cocktail made with bourbon and Grand Marnier). Cheers! And, best wishes for a very HAPPY, HEALTHY & PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR! xoxo ~Stacy
ReplyDeleteThis looks perfect-o-mundo! Save one for me. I'm grabbing my shoes and some honey.
ReplyDeleteHow festive! I love the heart confetti. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteBourbon is the best! Great way to dress up bourbon simply and as a fun cocktail. Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteOhhh, i love this! Great idea. I betcha my man would want the whisky sour though. Oh well, i guess the duality is shot.
ReplyDeleteYour husband's cocktail is identical to my husband's! Yours looks fantastic, although I'm not sure how hubby would react if I started using his beloved Maker's Mark!
ReplyDeleteMmm, I'd probably reach for the gentleman's drink - looks perfect!
ReplyDeleteJust like you and Mr. E., these cocktails are a match made in heaven. Happy New Year Bridget, may 2013 be as gentle and as sweet to you & your family as you are to everyone.
ReplyDeleteThe cocktail sounds lovely! You always take great photos, but that first picture is so pretty I would hang it on my wall!
ReplyDeleteAhh looks so good, Bridget!! I would like one of these right now! Happy New Year to you!!!
ReplyDeleteTotally loving and stealing this recipe for me and the Mr :)
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to trying this cocktail. I have Makers Mark on hand and use it often to cook with. It makes a great spirit of choice in PW's whiskey cream sauce. Oh my!
