The Busted Pipe

A simple cocktail for cooler weather.

With cooler temperatures on the way, the threat of plumbing issues loom larger. Sometimes, though, you want a busted pipe. You don’t want the kind that requires you to call someone and spend thousands of dollars, you want the kind you sit, sip, and relax with while your water lines remain working properly.

Featuring an easy 1:1 ration of bourbon to Amaro Nonino, this simple cocktail is warming, easy to make, and surely to please a variety of palates. Serve it up, serve it on a large cube, garnish it, or don’t garnish it. This isn’t a cocktail to fuss over, but one to simply enjoy.

The Busted Pipe
In a mixing glass, pour in equal amounts of the bourbon of your choice and Amaro Nonino.
Stir until nicely chilled and diluted.
Strain into a glass either neat or over a large ice cube.
Garnish with a cherry or orange twist if you want to get fancy.
Enjoy.
