Tax season... the dreaded or anticipated time of the year when Americans exchange money with the IRS. Well, if you are in need of a strong drink to make it through the next few weeks or would like to toast the appearance of this year's check, I have a few drinks that are more than fitting for either occasion.
- Income Tax Cocktail - This is the classic drink, made up many years ago by someone with a taste for a citrus version of a Perfect Martini and a propensity to name the drink for this lovely time of year. As one review indicates, this will not be a favorite drink for everyone, but I encourage you to give it a try nonetheless.
- Lucky Deduction - A new drink this year, this one leans to a classic mix of brandy and port that appears every now and then. Again, a touch of orange juice is used as an accent and makes this a nice sipper while your shuffling receipts.
- Procrastinator Shot - If you tend to get a little nervous around tax time, worried about making the deadline or how you will manage payments this quick little drink may be in order. It is a simple and very smooth mix of Frangelico and Wild Turkey American Honey and can also be served on the rocks for a smooth sip.
