Tipsy Tuesday: Tennessee Shandy

For fear that Tipsy Tuesday would become exclusively vodka-based drinks, I've recruited Michael, whose tastes for liquor are much more varied than my own, to help me out a bit.  This is a little concoction that he came up with on our trip home to Tennessee.  Despite the presence of whiskey, I've got to admit that I also really liked it.  

A summer drink, for sure, with refreshing notes of apricot, lemon, and ginger with a hint of oak from the whiskey.  It can feel like a gulper, so be careful.

6 oz Magic Hat #9
