The Thunder Shirt cocktail is an adaptation inspired by Jacob Grier’s Lazy Bear drink, infused with the flavors of a Dark & Stormy. Named after the garment that calms anxious dogs during thunderstorms, this beverage aims to soothe humans instead. The sharpness of white dog whiskey is softened by ginger syrup and complemented by Smith & Cross rum's distinctive character, all rounded out with citrus notes. Pimento bitters substitute for falernum, adding a touch of island spice. This drink is not only tasty but also purportedly helps ease anxiety in over 80% of nervous drinkers—a claim I fabricated for effect.
