The Cannonball Jack


And, now, my darling drunks…for the frightening. 
 
The Cannonball Jack is the sort of drink that when presented, you feel a little bit of genuine fear.  Murky green in color with a giant ice cannonball, this cocktail can be a little intimidating.  Then you take a sip…mmm…oh yeah…sweet lime and whiskey goodness!  Give me more! 
 
It is like a Whiskey Sour on steroids.  This is not a drink for the faint of heart—you gotta have just a little bit of that drunken pirate spirit to take on The Cannonball Jack.  A warning though:  When Jack debuted this drink, by the second cocktail, Tanker was making phone calls to contacts in remote locations arranging sailing lessons as we all had decided we were going to “get a pirate ship” and “take to the high seas.”  I have no idea.  It sounded like such a sound plan at the time.  Proceed with caution, my friends, proceed with caution!



The Cannonball Jack

2 shots whiskey (we recommend Pendleton)
½ shot Parfait Amour
1 shot frozen limeade concentrate (thawed)
½ shot water

Shake and serve over an ice ball in an Old Fashioned.  Garnish with lemon or lime.
