An original recipe courtesy of Stephanie Thurrott and inspired by Mikah Sargent.
The Patch Tuesday
3 oz whiskey
0.5 oz lemon juice
2 dashes bitters (because Patch Tuesday is a little bit sour and a little bit bitter)
0.5 oz honey (to add a little hope)
1/2 of an egg white
Shake everything together well over ice.
Serve over ice, ideally 1 large whiskey cube.
Garnish with a hard maraschino cherry.
Serves 2 because no one should drink alone on Patch Tuesday.
Hosts: Leo Laporte, Mary Jo Foley, and Paul Thurrott
