In reply to James Malter. Pomegranate would make an interesting substitution here.

In reply to Doug Ford. Try substituting pure pomegranate juice for cranberry and increase the bourbon by 20%

It’s cold out, and I’m averse to getting in the car anymore today. I was armed with lemons, but no limes.

Can we call the lemon variation the Bardstown Schwing?

In reply to Chas. Gingertown Sling, I like that! And the ginger component with the juice and whiskey is intriguing, I’ll have to experiment with that. Thanks!

My bf poured whisky over ice for me one night this week. It was alot, about half a stemless wine glass. He had a rough day at work lol. When I said I didn’t wait it, he stuck it in the freezer. Three or four days later, I saw it still in there and pulled it out, worried it had cracked the glass or something. The glass was fine and as the ice started melting, I noticed it developed a weird shape and consistency, almost like a slushie. I stuck the glass back in the freezer until last night when I felt inspired to make a cocktail.

I squeezed 3 cuties on top of the whisky and ice slushie, added a generous pour of organic cranberry juice (no sugar) and then I added a 1 inch by 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch piece of ginger, shredded down to fine little pieces.

Glass was about 2/3 full when I finished so i didn’t add tons of liquid; just enough to add some flavor and take the edge off the whisky. Omg it was amazing! I wanted to name it after me but figured I should Google it first. It sounds really similar to this but the ginger gives a nice twist. Maybe I could call it the Gingertown Sling, according to ur naming theory :)

Triple sec works great! Just cut back on the lime, but don’t leave it out altogether because it adds an aftertaste of diminished tartness that is quite refreshing.

It’s tasty! My wife and tried a middle-of-the-road version of the recipes above and then tried a similar version that omitted the orange and lime flavors. We’ve landed on this recipe below that we’ve dubbed “The Merry Pilgrim.”

Thanks again for the ideas!

In reply to Katia Clark. Cranberry-anise bitters, that's an interesting idea, and sounds delicious. (Do you make those yourself?)

Just found you online and this looked so inviting that I had to try it. Thank you. It’s delicious! I add 2 dashes of some homemade cranberry-anise bitters and whoa. Well done.
