The Kenosha Kid

submitted by Fascinus to Booze 3.4 yearsNov 19, 2021 23:11:48 ago (+10/-0)     (Booze)

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?

I like the campari finish. I used to top my gin and tonics with it.

What a great way to accentuate the bitterness in the tonic.

I'll have to give that a try.

Outstanding!

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