What You Should Be Drinking....Right Now

Its the start of a new week and as your laying out your plans and looking at due dates and deadlines dont be afraid to take a break from it all. Shake up the begining of your week and mix your self a drink. My last reccomendation was an "Old Fashioned"-done Modern Gentleman style. Hope you got the chance to make yourself one of those and enjoy it, I know I did. Anyways, its time to move on and experience a new drink. Without further hesitation, enter, the Six Twenty Two. The recipet comes from Poppy in Seattle and was featured on Details website. Much like the Old Fashioned, the Six Twenty Two is a heavier drink and is primarily made with Rye Whisky (full recipet is below). I say fit in all your whisky drinking before the warm weather rolls around and your inclined to switch to something a little lighter. Heres the recipet for this great cocktail,
Ingredients
2 1/2 oz Old Overholt rye whiskey
1/2 oz Amaro Nonino
1 dash Angostura bitters
2 dashes Fee Brothers rhubarb bitters
Orange peel

How To Mix It Up
1.Stir together all of the ingredients except the orange peel over ice in a mixing glass
2.Strain into a cocktail glass
3.Strain into a cocktail glass
4.Using a y-peeler (or a knife), cut a fat strip of peel off the orange and squeeze the zest over the drink
5.Drop in the peel or hang it off the rim of the glass to serve
