For those who imbibe, I offer the following riff on the IBA classic
Sidecar in celebration of the Kenosha Kid to enjoy in tonight’s revelry.
In cocktail shaker, pour the following:
2 shots Rittenhouse Rye
1 shot Blood Orange liqueur (Cointreau, Grand Marnier or Triple Sec may be substituted)
3/4 shot lemon juice
Shake well with ice, strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
Top with a splash of
Campari cherry juice (look at the blood!) and, optionally a pinch of salt to simulate the flavor of liberal tears.
Warning: Goes down
way too easy for how strong they are. More than one of these
will mess up the average person.
Cheers!
*Edit: Just discovered that Campari is no longer colored naturally and now includes artificial dyes. Guess I am behind the times... last time I checked it was still made with Cochineal. Upon this basis, I no longer recommend using it.
Perhaps one of these
traditionally made spirits could be substituted?

Outstanding!
For extra bonus holiday cheer, have a few and then tell everyone what you *really* think!
