| This month’s cocktail inspiration is Fourth of July Creek by Smith
Henderson. Named after the first of many bars in Smith Henderson’s
Fourth of July Creek, the Dirty Shame takes its cue from the Dirty
Martini’s call for olive juice, but I went with bourbon, not gin,
because that’s what soaks the novel’s pages. I wish I could've utilized
the whiskey Henderson cites – Redeye – but that’s unavailable, so use
Montana’s own RoughStock to evoke this fierce novel’s terroir. Dirty Shame: 2 oz. RoughStock Montana Whiskey .25 - .5 oz. olive juice (make it as dirty as you want) .25 oz. simple syrup 1 full dropper Bittermens Hellfire bitters Olives Shake all – except olives – with ice and strain into an ice-filled old-fashioned glass. Garnish with olives (mine are jalapeno stuffed,
but any will do). |
