Whether you owe or will get a refund from the Internal Revenue Service this year, you will more than like want a drink to either celebrate (refund) or take the edge off (owe) Uncle Sam.  In recognition of U.S. Tax Day, April 15, we have provided three (3) cocktails that should put you in a celebratory mood, either way!

Income Tax Cocktail

Prep Time: 3 minutes

Preparation:

  1. Pour the ingredients into a shaker with ice cubes.
  2. Shake well.
  3. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

Lucky Deduction

The Lucky Deduction is classic mix with a modern twist, this being a fruity, refreshing version of port via Croft Pink. Also, with any of these finely tuned drinks, you should use the freshest orange juice possible. True, it is only a splash, but even in the smallest amounts you need to think of quality and refrain from compromising the rest of the drink.

  • 1 oz Camus VSOP Cognac

  2. Stir well.
  3. Garnish with an orange wedge.

Procrastinator (Shooter)

 

This shooter was designed for those tax season procrastinators and makes a great celebratory finish to another successful filing, no matter the outcome.

  • 1 oz Frangelico Liqueur
  • 1 oz Wild Turkey American Honey
