Take a load off and relax with a Northside Rye cocktail
The Occasion: Rough day at work. Most days work brings a few challenges, but we all know that some days grab the brass ring of suckiness. This cocktail is for those times – maybe a Thursday night? – when you know a limit of one is in order, so make it a good one.

Why This? Although it’s a strong drink, with brown liquor no less, it’s got nice warm citrus elements to it making this a bit more complex and interesting (to me) than two fingers of scotch in a glass.

What Goes With It? Heavy sighs and a glassy-eyed stare into space will do for starters. As the drink starts to take effect, relaxing your mind and muscles, you might enjoy some seasoned nuts as a go-with. I wouldn’t do much more than that.
The Verdict: Sucky days will happen from time to time, and for sure, solving problems with alcohol is no kind of long term fix. But for me at least, it helps to visualize a lovely glass of Northside Rye in my future as I work to keep a smile on my face and can-do on my lips until the work day ends. This is a really good cocktail. Tomorrow will be better. Click on the photos to enlarge them and read the captions.
