Pausing dry July for one drink, streets are too flooded to get to yoga and it’s been an eventful month.

1.5 oz bourbon (any whiskey would be good)

.75 oz Amaro Toscano (would not substitute another)

.75 lemon juice

Shake together then stir in

3 oz dry or sweet full flavored ginger beer (mine is home fermented, spicy and dry but a strong and sweet one would also work)

Really hitting the spot, the Toscana and ginger reminds me of gingerbread. An aperitif before supper then back to none for another week. Usually my one drink of July is historically on the 15th so made it an extra week!
