NEW YORK
2 measures Canadian whiskey or Scotch
1 tsp. superfine sugar
Juice from half a lime
Dash of grenadine
What do Canucks think of New
Yorkers? Oddly enough, you can find out by making a NEW YORK cocktail. The
cocktail was invented in the 1920s in Canada. To make it, you will need
Canadian whiskey (I used Canadian Club) or Scotch. Whatever you do, do not use American
whiskey to make your NEW YORK cocktail. Don’t ask why. Just put the brown
liquor into a pitcher, add sugar, juice from half a life and a dash of
grenadine. Add ice to the pitcher and stir well for at least a minute. Then
strain that into a short cocktail glass, add some fresh ice, and garnish with a
slice of lemon or lime.
The NEW
YORK cocktail is one of those sweet whiskey drinks that allow a gal like me to
drink brown liquor and enjoy it. With the whiskey, the sweet from the sugar and
grenadine, and a touch of sour from the lime, I thought it had the perfect
balance. I dare say I liked the NEW YORK even better than the CC and ginger my
friend Jen introduced me to. Hubby had a different opinion. He said it was like
a Manhattan cocktail gone terribly wrong. Visit the cocktail yourself and see
if you love NEW YORK.
