Rye Cocktail
RYE COCKTAIL
SERVES 1
INGREDIENTS
2 ounces Rye Whiskey
1/2 teaspoon Demerara sugar
2 dashes Angostura Bitters
2 dashes Orange Bitters
Pour over large ice cubes.
ICE SPHERES
1. Fill a water balloon slightly less than the circumference of your cocktail glass.
2. Twist a long thin piece of aluminum foil onto a ring. Rest the balloon within the nest the ring has created. The ring prevents the balloon getting a flat side and keeps them orbicular while freezing. Put the filled balloons, and his many brothers, into the freezer the day before the party. Plan on one per glass.
3. At party time, cut the top of the balloon and peel the rubber off the ice. If the sphere is too big to fit into the glass, simply run under hot water until the ice shrinks a bit.
