Bottom Shelf Mixology: Earth Wind & Fire

Welcome to Bottom Shelf Mixology!  Our staff of Mixologists have racked their brains (and livers) to come up with special "bottom shelf" versions of popular drinks, and some original creations that range from "oh, that might be interesting" to "that sounds absolutely disgusting".  


Earth Wind & Fire

  • 1/2 oz Aftershock
  • 1/2 oz 99 Peppermint
  • 1/2 oz Fleischmann's Whiskey

Combine the Aftershock (fire), 99 Peppermint (wind), and whiskey (earth) in your shaker.  Add some ice.

Shake it while listening to September by Earth, Wind & Fire.  Pour, and enjoy!

Too many of these, though, and you will not remember the twenty-first night of September.  Or any other night.
