madbakerThis week's Resolution Recipe: The Mamie Taylor cocktail.
"The Mamie Taylor dates from 1899 when it was invented in Rochester, New York and it spread like wildfire. There are several versions of a tale linking the drink to a Broadway star of that name."
2 oz blended Scotch (I used Bushmills)
1/2 oz lime juice
4 oz ginger beer (I used Bundaberg)
Combine the Scotch and lime juice in a glass filled with ice. Top with ginger beer and stir briefly.
What worked: $deity, this was tasty and easy to drink. It's a better-tasting (and much older) Moscow Mule.
What didn't: $deity, this was tasty and easy to drink.
Will I make it again? I already did, although I tried using a low-end Islay single malt just to see what difference it made. I think blended Scotch is better; the Islay was a bit too assertive, although the drink grew on me.
