If you're like me, you do your taxes at the last minute. I don't get any money back so I don't rush to do my taxes.
So a lot of you are either doing your taxes right now or will be doing them in the next couple of weeks, and that means you need to drink!* After the jump is the recipe for the Income Tax Cocktail, which is heavy on the vermouth and also includes gin and orange juice.
*Slashfood recommends that you don't drink and do your taxes at the same time. Thank you.
Now that tax day - April 15th - is safely behind us, it's time to celebrate a little. Even if you
don't feel like celebrating, at least have a drink and allow yourself to remember that you won't have to do this again
for another year. Courtesy of the Wall Street Journal, here's a recipe thats perfect for
the occasion:
Income Tax Cocktail
1 oz. gin
3/4 oz. fresh orange juice
1/4 oz. dry vermouth
3/4 oz. sweet vermouth
dash of bitters
Combine and shake with ice. Strain into a cocktail glass and
serve with an orange wedge (or a cherry) and a sigh of relief.

December may have peppermint bark, but have you thought to incorporate the taste of autumn into white chocolate with a rich pumpkin swirl?
