Sweet Holiday Cheer
In what can be described as Twitter’s equivalent to “Norm” (for the youngins, a boisterous alcohol-related greeting offered a character on the Boston-based TV show Cheers), I recently posted this question:
Within minutes, 10 sets of instructions appeared in my stream. @9to5to9 pointed me to the recipe her husband learned in bartender school. @mrch0mp3rs suggested adding a little egg white to create froth. @espnguyen mentioned a splash of orange juice. @billives pointed me to The Food Network where Emeril Lagassi offers a simple whisky sour recipe. I was even asked questions about the ingredients we had at home because people had seen we weren’t going anywhere that day. And then this, which I adore (and didn’t try) from @rickladd:
In the end, I went with Emeril’s recipe, thanks to its simplicity and for some reason I trust Bill is a good judge of such things. And because Karl was so exhausted after clearing a path down our very long steep driveway, and was running a fever to boot, I postponed making the sour mix for a few days.
Now it’s all ready. Thanks to everyone who contributed. Here’s to sweet holiday cheer.
