Spirit: Rye WhiskeyFlavors: Grapefruit, Raspberry First published in Patrick Gavin Duffy's 'The Official Mixer's Manual' in 1934, some consider the Blinker to be a variation on the classic Whiskey Sour. Born in Ireland, Duffy began bartending in New York at the age of 16, and after Prohibition was repealed, his Manual became one of the most important collections of cocktail recipes. The raspberry preserves are a perfect balance to the rye; the cocktail is neither overpowering nor overly tart. "My wife isn't that into brown liquor, but she does love a good Blinker." Show more
