Cocktail Recipe: Trash Talker
Inspired by Joe Biden’s ill-chosen words, The Trash Talker is a bold, tart, and slightly sweet whiskey cocktail that’s here to prove the point: don’t trash talk hardworking Americans! With notes of cherry and lemon, this drink gives a zing to the conversation—just like every comeback. It’s a glass of patriotism served chilled!
