A Quick Little Pick-Me-Up | Cocktail Party

A Quick Little Pick-Me-Up

We love the super-cute names that bartender Audrey “Libation Goddess” Saunders picks for her drinks. We love drinking them even more. This shooter is best shaken with ice, of course – but it also makes a nice flask cocktail to pack along when ice isn’t available.

Fun fact: The menthol in spirits like Branca Menta activates the same tongue-sensors that tell your brain something is cold, so the drink actually “tastes” cold – even when it isn’t. Science!!

Saunders calls for bourbon in her original recipe, but we’ve tried it with rye, and found that the peppery flavors brought an welcome little bit of spice to play with the crisp bite of the mint amaro.

Ingredients

Instructions

Shake with ice and strain into a sour glass or large shot glass, or just funnel it right into your belt-buckle flask. Garnish with a cherry.

Far superior to any other cocktail app

I have only been using the app for a short time but already I can tell that it is far superior to any other cocktail app I have used until now. The user interface is easy to use and visually appealing, and the search function displays recipes as you type which will make this app easy and fast to use. Highly recommended for use as a bartender or server, or at home making drinks for a party or night in. The developer also promises recipes added regularly and the customer support is second to none.
