No real recipe with this one, just a word of caution; “be careful with Boilermakers”. They’re really nothing more than a means for the drinker to forget about a bad break-up, a bad day at the office, or anything else you wish to put behind you for the night. Have no more than three, and make damn sure you’ve lined up a safe way back home when it is time to sleep. Yes…I do indulge, on occasion.

Here we go –

• 2 oz Whiskey (Bourbon/Scotch/Sour Mash)
• Glass of Beer

Shoot the whiskey in a shot glass; chase the shot with a beer, putting the beer glass down when it’s empty.

When it’s really hot outside, or I’ve come home to a steamy house on a summer night, I occasionally like a beer on ice. That’s what a Foxtail is; a cold beer poured over ice with a long twist or “tail” of orange or lemon peel as garnish. The oil in the citrus peel does add a little snap to the flavor plus just the smell of the fruit skin adds to the overall cool down experienced.

Here we go –
Wait for a 90+-degree day or night, crack a beer (lager is the best), and pour it over cracked ice in a tall glass. Add the peel, then stand in front of an air conditioner.
