Vanilla Whiskey Skin

Sounds oddly salacious, don’t it? Thanks to Nancy of The Backyard Bartender for hosting this Mixology Monday. Her theme is Some Like it Hot—“make anything you want to, so long as it’s hot.” OK—I’m feeling a little worn out from the recent adventure in New York so here’s an easy one. David Wondrich says a toddy with lemon peel is a skin. Vanilla syrup sounded soothing after reading about Tiare’s Vanilla Smash.



Vanilla Whiskey Skin
  • 2 oz Rittenhouse rye (100 proof)
  • 2 tsp vanilla syrup
  • lemon peel
  • 4 oz hot water
Combine in a heat-proof glass.

  1. It might sound strange, but after writing my usual posts in such a long-winded style, I really enjoy your short and sweet posts. Clearly it's a style I need to master.

    I'm liking the glass mug!!

  2. Thanks for the kind words.

    The mug is an old thing belonging to the housemate. He will appreciate the compliment.
