Americana

Today's drink is the Americana. Take 1/4 ounce (2 tsp) of tennessee whiskey, 1/2 tsp of sugar, and 1-2 dashes (1/4 tsp-1/2 tsp) of bitters. Mix in a collins glass until sugar is dissolved, then fill with chilled champagne.

I enjoyed this drink thoroughly, however, I must add one caveat. Since we do not have any collins glasses I made this drink in a pint glass. I estimated how much to fill based on my nearly non-existent knowledge of collins glasses. So it is possible that I added too much champagne.

Anyway, I thought the drink was delightful. It tasted like champagne with a hint of caramel in it.
