This week's cocktail, which is meant for warm weather (we know, today doesn't quite count) is named after Martin Scorsese's seminal film, Mean Streets. It was created by Foreign Cinema's bar manager Bryan Ranere, and it combines classic Italian and American spirits with citrus for a unique blend of flavors that you could see Momma Scorsese sipping on a porch while fanning herself.
Mean Streets
1/2 lemon, cut in wedges
1 1/2 oz. Sambuca
1/2 oz. Rittenhouse Rye 100 proof
Muddle the lemon in a mixing glass. Pour Sambuca in the glass and fill with ice. Shake vigorously and strain into a rocks glass filled with crushed ice. Float about 1/2 an ounce of Rittenhouse Rye 100 proof whiskey on top. Garnish with lemon peel and a sprig of mint.
