Bittersweet Jack
The BITTERSWEET JACK elevates Jack Daniel’s with a dash of apricot liqueur and orange curaçao. It’s stirred and served like a Manhattan, but with no vermouth involved it more closely resembles an Old Fashioned.
Requirements: Jack Daniel’s whiskey, apricot liqueur (or apricot brandy), orange curaçao, Angostura bitters, orange peel
- 2 oz. Jack Daniel’s
- 1/4 oz. apricot liqueur
- 1/4 oz. orange curaçao
- 2 dashes Angostura bitters
- 1 orange peel for garnish
Fill a mixing glass with ice and combine ingredients. Stir to chill and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with an orange peel.
Comments: Because only a quarter-ounce each of apricot liqueur and orange curaçao are used per serving, it makes sense to prepare the Bittersweet Jack when serving two or more. Apricot brandy works as well as apricot liqueur in this mix. If Jack Daniel’s is not available, another bourbon with a high corn mash is recommended (see bourbon mash listings at link provided). https://keetscocktails.com/whiskey-mash-comparisons-u-s/
