The Tommy Gun Fizz

A zingy whiskey drink even the most non-whiskey drinker will love

Recently, during my hunt for the perfect Thanksgiving cocktail I stumbled upon a little something called The Tommy Gun. 

Originally created by San Fransisco mixologist Jacques Bezuindenhout, the name Tommy Gun references the iconic prohibition-era firearm wielded by movie-star like gangsters of the past.

The drink itself is in essence a whiskey sour.  A kicked up, zingy, whiskey sour full of ginger, plenty of whiskey and an unexpected teaspoon of apricot jam.  The apricot jam is what intrigued me.  And after mixing up one or two I was almost sold. 

In my version I opt out of the fresh ginger, instead subbing in fizzy ginger beer.  And I go a little heavy handed on the lemon and apricot. 

Together, the combo provides the perfect pre or post dinner drink, for whiskey and non whiskey drinkers alike.  It also happens to be the cocktail I chose to serve this year at Thanksgiving dinner.  Cheers, and happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! Truly, MKR

Turkey Garbage Salad Recipe with Thanksgiving LeftoversTurkey Garbage Salad Recipe with Thanksgiving Leftovers

Ever scarfed down a Garbage Salad?  I’m sure you have; there’s nothing like a fridge full of leftovers post-holiday, with Pinterest inspiration looking bleak and no desire to get back in the kitchen anytime soon.  Well in the Rye household, we always eagerly welcome our post-Thanksgiving tradition of a Garbage Salad after we’re nice and stuffed from the day before.

In true Garbage Salad form, we literally throw all of our Thanksgiving leftovers into a salad for the perfect light meal (so we’re nice and spry for all of the Black Friday shopping!). There’s no exact recipe or formula for our Garbage Salad, but I always enjoy the hints of butternut squash and pomegranate seeds among fresh arugula (always fresh arugula), hard-boiled eggs and almond slivers.  So grab a leftover roll and top with any dressing of your choice, voila.

From the entire WOM team, I hope you and yours have a wonderful Thanksgiving…one that even requires you to pull out the stretchy pants and throw the calorie count out the window!  Truly, MKR
