Friday Happy Hour: The Journalist

There's been a longstanding assumption that journalists and drinking have always gone hand in hand. I'm not sure how rumors like this get started. I'm here to tell you that journalists only drink when they absolutely have to, on days of the week that end in a "y." No more than that.*

This drink is The Journalist, and it's made with gin, two kinds of Vermouth, Triple Sec, lime juice, and bitters. To all the writers out there, make one for yourself tonight and type away!

* Yes, this is an old joke.

The Journalist

2 oz. Gin
1 tsp. Dry Vermouth
1 tsp. Sweet Vermouth
1 tsp. Triple Sec
1 tsp. Lime Juice
Dash Angostura Bitters

Combine ingredients in a shaker filled with ice, shake and strain into a chilled martini or cocktail glass
