Recipe Night! Whiteface Sour

Apparently reviewing two bars this afternoon is not enough. Weary from our trip to Speculator and Piseco, we still had a need to concoct a new Adirondack-style beverage. In keeping with our goal to create drinks in tribute to the various high peaks, we present the Whiteface Sour.

First we must caution you that we are going to bring you through our thought process in developing this drink. Some of our readers just might not be ready to go there. If so, skip this paragraph and go straight to the recipe. Maybe inside our heads is not a place you want to go, but here you are, bypassing our warning. First thought: it has to be frozen, slushy, ice - hey let's use ice - ingenious! Next: it has to be white, duh! So, sweet white or sour white? Sour white because sour mix is white. Beyond: liquors have to be clear, in keeping with the white theme - yo! ho! ho! white rum 'tis - arrrrhh! Finally: let's sweeten our sour. We need flavor with a twist, and mildly sweet, oh yeah, and clear or white. Rummaging through the liquor cupboard, we find good ole triple sec (prevents scurvy, ya know - arrrrhh!).

We are going to ease you out of our mind gently. When you awaken, you will not remember a thing, but will feel like wearing a patch over one eye. How do you know a pirate from the Adirondacks? They wear a patch on both eyes! Sorry, you might remember that.


Whiteface Sour

3 oz white rum
1 oz triple sec
2 packets sour mix
2 oz water
generous portion of ice
mix in a blender and drink responsibly!

We wish you a very Happy Hour!

Cheers & Bottoms Up!
