It's "Happy Hour" on SiriusXM's Stars Too
May 17th, 2012... broadcast from the 10 Pound Bar inside The Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills, CA... our guests include Joel Stein, Time magazine columnist and author of the best-selling book, "Man Made." Also on the show, Eden Algie, the Global Brand Ambassador for The Macallan.
The "Quintessential Cocktail" featured on this show is THE JIMMY MAC, which was created by internationally renowned barman Jimmy Yeager, proprietor of Jimmy's Bar in Aspen. It was no small challenge to craft a great original cocktail for a world-class drinking establishment using one of the more complex whiskies in the world, but Jimmy just flat-out nailed it with this one. As delicious a Scotch drink as this professional boozehound has ever tasted:
The Jimmy Mac2 oz The Macallan 18-year-old
1/2 oz Benedictine
1/2 oz Averna Amaro
2 dashes Regan's Orange Bitters
Stir 35 times (no more, no less) over ice. Strain into a double rocks glass over a BFIC (big fuckin' ice cube). Garnish with an orange peel.
ABOUT "HAPPY HOUR":
Over the years, people have often told me that I have a "face for radio"... and I, in turn, have kicked those people in the junk as hard as I could.
