This rain has kind of been throwing us for a loop. It’s Memorial Day Weekend- it’s supposed to be the big summer kickoff, right? Even though we had visions of beach barbecues and bonfires dancing in our heads, we actually think a mellow, rainy, weekend in might just be what the doctor ordered. A self-imposed, weather-supported staycation, if you will. We’re planning on wrapping up in cashmere (obvi), making ourselves an old fashioned (fave recipe below), putting on this playlist (maybe on repeat), and toasting what will (hopefully) be the last chilly weekend for a while.
Bill Heck’s Old Fashioned Recipe
Ingredients
2 sugar cubes
4 dashes of Angostura bitters
1 lemon wheel
1 lime wheel
1 orange wheel
1 maraschino cherry
1/2 teaspoon grenadine
1/4 cup bourbon or rye whiskey
Club soda
Ginger ale
Preparation
Drop sugar cubes in a rocks glass; sprinkle with bitters and add citrus wheels, cherry, and grenadine. Using a muddler or the handle of a wooden spoon, mash just to release fruit juices and oils. Add bourbon. Fill glass with ice cubes; stir to combine. Top with equal parts club soda and ginger ale.
