I’m excited to be part of the latest volume of #soundtrackmyfriendsdrink volume 17: secret Santa edition. I got @offthewalljosh— a new account for me. Josh picked whiskey, and “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree”. Off to a good start! I noticed a few agave spirits and a lot of fresh ingredients on his page though, so I went with an unusual split of Irish whisky and añejo tequila to pair with a homemade berry/habanero shrub. The build is vaguely boulevardier-esque, but with some elements dialed back a bit. This allows the berry notes to shine through as well as the nuanced, slightly oaky base that includes delicious, dried fruit notes from the whisky.
