The Nothing Special
Old Fashioned. Manhattan. Martini. What do they all have in common? They have kept people coming back time and time again with only a handful of ingredients. The Nothing Special is just that - it's nothing special - but like its simple relatives, it features only a few ingredients and a hell of a punch.
Muddle the sugar cube, bitters, and water in a mixing glass, breaking the sugar down so that it is mostly dissolved with just a few undissolved grains. Then, add the Irish Mist and ice to cover the drink. Stir for about 20 seconds and strain into a rocks glass. Lastly, take your lemon and peel a strip about 3 inches long. Twist the peel over the drink to release the essential oils, rub the peel along the rim, of your glass, and drop the peel in. Check out more of our signature cocktails here! |
