Midnight Minted Whiskey

The Midnight Stinger, a creation by Sam Ross at Attaboy in NYC, is a variation of the classic cocktail. This whiskey-based recipe, adapted from Winter Drinks, features the bold flavors of bourbon or rye, complemented by the herbal notes of Fernet-Branca and the bright acidity of lemon juice. The addition of homemade simple syrup adds a touch of sweetness, while a mint sprig garnish provides a refreshing finish.
