The What Is This

Something told me to try putting Worchestershire sauce in a cocktail with both rye and bourbon. I don’t know why I followed my gut, but I did it. I did it, and I looked at the glass like, “I hope this works. It probably won’t, but okay.” As soon as I took a sip, my eyes widened. I knew immediately. The salinity of the sauce in combination with the whiskey was exactly like sipping on a Dirty Martini. The only difference was the base alcohol used. This is for anybody who loves Dirty Martinis, but also loves whiskey. A mixture of both rye and bourbon gives this cocktail depth. I hope you love this recipe as much as I loved developing it.

Ingredients:

2 parts High West bourbon

1 part Overholt rye

1/4 part Worchestershire sauce

2 green beans, for garnish

Directions:

Add ice halfway up a mixing glass. Add Worchestershire, rye, and bourbon. Sprinkle yeast on top. Stir with bar spoon until glass is ice cold. Strain into a short tumbler. Garnish with two green beans.
