Taxes Make Us Thirsty

It’s that time. Taxes are due tomorrow on April 18th. Time to pay or time to play. Either way, an Income Tax Cocktail is the answer and fully deductible (consult your own tax adviser about that). Here’s a recipe from Serious Eats..

  • 1 1/2 ounces gin
  • 3/4 ounce dry vermouth
  • 3/4 ounce sweet vermouth
  • 3/4 ounce freshly squeezed orange juice from 1 orange
  • 2 dashes Angostura bitters
  • Garnish: orange wheel (optional)

Add gin, dry vermouth, sweet vermouth, orange juice, and bitters to an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Shake until well chilled. Strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with an orange wheel and serve.
