Duel Drinkware

This week's quote comes from W.C Fields. William Claude Dukenfield (January 29, 1880 – December 25, 1946), better known as W. C. Fields, was an American comedian, actor, juggler, and writer. Fields' comic persona was a misanthropic and hard-drinking egotist, who remained a sympathetic character despite his supposed contempt for children and dogs.

While often described as a “pre-Code” comedy, International House was, indeed, given the once-over by the Hays Office, which declared “the whole picture is vulgar and borders constantly on the salacious.” Not that Paramount cared at the time. The studio caused an uproar with local exhibitors when it agreed to cut a line that the censors found particularly offensive—getting into a car, Peggy Hopkins Joyce accidentally plops down on a kitten, complaining “I’m sitting on something,” to which Fields shoots back “It’s a pussy”—but released the film with the line clearly intact. 

Whiskey Sour
The whiskey sour is a perfectly sweet tart, balanced whiskey drink that actually dates back to the 1870’s.

2oz - Bourbon Whiskey
1oz - Lemon Juice
3/4 oz - Maple Syrup

Garnish - Orange Peel & Cocktail Cherry.

Add all in a shaker and ice and shake 'til very cold. Then drink up.
