1 Part Whiskey + 1 Part Whiskey + 1 Part Whiskey = Your New Favorite Cocktail
There's something alchemical going on in this cocktail: Old Overholt, Jack, and Johnnie, equal parts, over ice. No bitters, no twist. No artisanal tonic water. And somehow, improbably, almost magically, it's a revelation. (At Brooklyn's Five Leaves, they call it Whiskey in a Jar.) All of the subtle flavors that differentiate scotch and rye get drowned out, and all that's left is the point of overlap—the harmony. Sweet, refreshing, just a little bit woody, and boozy as you'd expect it to be. It's kind of the perfect summer cocktail—at the very least, it's the easiest one to make at home.
