The Whistling Groundhog cocktail recipe
In our interview with actor Rich Sommer, he mentioned a drink that he commissioned his friend Talmadge Lowe to make for a birthday/Groundhog Day party he and his wife had.
He provided us with that recipe, which is below.

Ingredients
- 1 oz. rye whiskey (a “good, spicy one”)
- 1 oz. grade A maple syrup
- 1 oz. Cynar
- Cardamom bitters
Instructions
Shake the whiskey, syrup, Cynar and 2 dashes of cardamom bitters with ice.
Per Talmadge: “Technically, this is a drink that would be stirred. But with the heaviness of the maple, I prefer to shake for even distribution. I also like the aeration that adds.”
Then strain over fresh ice and add an orange twist.
If you try the recipe, let us know what you think.
