Tommy Wommy

Growing up, my older brother Tom did not appreciate the nickname that I bestowed upon him. Today, it becomes the name for a strong, Bourbon-based cocktail created in his honor.
This following recipe is for 1 cocktail.

Ingredients

  • 3 oz of the best Bourbon you can afford
  • 1 oz lemon juice
  • 1 oz simple syrup
  • 3 dashes Orange bitters
  • 2 dashes Angostura bitters
  • 2 oz Ginger beer
  • 1 Maraschino cherry (as garnish)
  • A twist of orange (as garnish)

Instructions 

  • Combine the Bourbon, lemon juice, simple syrup, and both types of bitters in a shaker tin with ice.
  • Shake for 15 seconds.
  • Strain the cocktail into a chilled rocks glass with an ice cube.
  • Top with chilled Ginger Beer, garnish with the Maraschino cherry and twist of orange, and serve.

Notes

You can reduce the quantity of simple syrup if you prefer a drier cocktail.
