The Daily Tippler

Today’s recipe is the one that got me drinkin. That’s not exactly true; but I was trying to trace back the roots behind my interest in Tippling and before I met this drink I was mostly a Frat Boy Drinker (i.e. Beer, Wine, Shots and the occasional Vodka Martini or Rum & Coke). There is nothing special about the recipe below and I have only ever seen it at my local bar; which has, in fact, changed the recipe from the one that caught my palette some years ago.

The Academy Roberts:

-3 oz. Maker’s Mark Bourbon
-Juice of 4 Lemon Wedges
-Splash of Orange Juice
-Dash of Grenadine

Combine ingredients in a shaker over ice. Serve in an ice filled Highball glass garnished with a cherry and a lemon wedge.
