Rye Witch (serves 2)

In keeping with out Halloween theme, our dinner of October 30th featured an all-spooky meal and wouldn’t you know it. Something spooky happened, because very rarely does the ‘adult beverage’ win the star at Chez, so when it does it is a monumental kinda day.

Here’s the recipe and I urge you to try it… if you dare!

- Chez

Ingredients:



  • 3 jiggers Kentucky Rye Whiskey (no substitutions please)

  • 2 jiggers Sherry (not cream sherry)

  • 2 tbs Agave Syrup

  • Dash Orange bitters

  • 4 pieces Orange peel


Directions:



  1. Mix rye, sherry and Agave syrup and set in freezer to get VERY COLD (20 minutes).

  2. Right before serving, add bitters to mixture and mix well.

  3. Pour into a fluted glass and take one of the orange peels and squeeze out some of the oils over the surface of the drink and rub the rim of the glass as well.

  4. Serve with fresh orange twist.
