“Have you ever had a Smooth & Angry Cocktail?” she asked.
“Um no – I don’t believe I’ve ever heard of that.”
“Well, it’s truly the best. It consists of Blanton’s bourbon, ice, a splash of Coke, and a splash of root beer. Here, try it. It’s on me.”

And so it was.

The Smooth & Angry

2 oz. Blantons bourbon
1 oz. Coca Cola
1 splash root beer

Layer all the ingredients in a whiskey glass and sip slowly to enjoy.
