The Winter Olympics are here! I cannot wait to tune into hours of hockey, skiing, figure skating, snowboarding and curling. Yes curling! We will be cheering the USA on to Gold!
Speaking of Gold, for this week’s Olympic Themed Thirsty Thursday I concocted a cocktail that is a beautiful shade of gold. I call it the Gold Medal.
This cocktail is the perfect combination of sweet and sour. It also has just the right amount of kick. Because it only takes a few minutes to make, you will be toasting to the athletes in no time at all.
Gold Medal (makes 1 cocktail)
1 1/2 oz very hot water
2 1/2 oz clover honey
2 oz whiskey (I used Jameson)
Juice of 1/2 a lemon
Lemon peel for garnish
In a small heat safe mug, mix together hot water and honey until honey dissolves.
In a cocktail shaker with lots of ice, add honey mixture, whiskey, and lemon juice. Shake for 1 or 2 minutes. Strain into a chilled martini glass and garnish with lemon peel.
Enjoy responsibly. Now, off to see if there are any curling clubs in my neck of the woods.
