The Wake Up

Created by Crystal Pavlas, bar manager at Bywater American Bistro in New Orleans, this cocktail takes cues from a few breakfast items.

“This drink is bitter with a touch of espresso, then it’s bright—just the way I wake up in the morning,” Pavlas says.

Stir all ingredients in a mixing glass with ice until chilled. Strain over fresh ice in a rocks glass. Garnish with grapefruit peel.

If you’re interested in making whisky cocktails at home, you’ll need these bar tools and a few choice mixers.

While apples get all the attention come autumn, try your hand at one of these cocktail recipes that put pears front and center.

Cool cider and fresh pear balance out spicy rye in this cocktail, which is meant to capture the transition into Fall.
