Silent Third

Now here’s an under the radar drink that I only alighted on because it had triple sec in it and I was wanting to use triple sec. Until relatively recently I assumed triple sec was some crap that you put in margaritas, and I don’t make margaritas, so whatever. Then I had a Deshler and then I actually looked up what this “crap” was. So I didn’t buy Cointreau but rather the random DeK***** stuff that is at the store and which probably is really OK or whatever.

The Silent Third is a drink that’s like a scotch sour in a way — 2 parts scotch, 1 part triple sec and 1 part lemon juice. Jen liked it, for what it’s worth.
