Tastefully Rugged Whiskey; Put A Little Chest Hair On It.

It's Monday and chances are, you're feeling like it's already been a very long work week. Don't worry, you only have a few more hours until it's 5:00 PM, and for the entrepreneurs and those of you in finance, this won't be the first time you made yourself a drink at your desk and continued working.

I don't drink much whiskey, but I know plenty of men and savage women who love a rugged whiskey cocktail. I've searched around for some amazing whiskey concoctions to put a little chest hair on it...tastefully of course, and found some winners to report.

2. The Shaken Socialite.

The New York Sour, featured on bonappetit.com.
"Combine 2 ounces rye or bourbon whiskey, 1 ounce fresh lemon juice, and 1 ounce simple syrup in a cocktail shaker. Fill with ice, cover, and shake until outside of shaker is frosty, about 30 seconds. Strain into a rocks glass filled with fresh ice. Gently pour 1/2 ounce fruity red wine (such as Shiraz or Malbec) over the back of a spoon held just above the drink's surface so wine floats on top."
