Ah, the Tully Tea. A drink born from the depths of a particularly gloomy and disheartening day at the bar. It all began when a customer, disillusioned with life and muttering about the absurdity of existence, demanded a drink that would encapsulate their sense of existential despair. And so, with a heavy sigh and a roll of the eyes, I concocted the Tully Tea — a beverage as bitter as the customer’s outlook on life, with a twist of irony and a dash of cynicism.

Now, to embark on the creation of this cocktail, one must first understand the art of embracing the absurdity of life and the futility of it all. It’s a delicate dance between despair and disbelief, with a hint of disillusionment thrown in for good measure. But fear not, for in the depths of this despair lies a glimmer of dark humor, a splash of sarcasm, and a dash of wit — all essential ingredients for the Tully Tea. So, gather ‘round, my fellow purveyors of pessimism, as we embark on this journey of cocktail creation.

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz whiskey
  • 1/2 oz lemon juice
  • 1/2 oz simple syrup
  • 1/2 oz amaro
  • 1 dash of orange bitters
  • 1 lemon twist, for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Fill a shaker with ice.
  2. Add the whiskey, lemon juice, simple syrup, amaro, and a dash of orange bitters to the shaker.
  3. Shake well until the mixture is chilled.
  4. Strain the cocktail into a chilled glass over ice.
  5. Garnish with a lemon twist.
  6. Serve and embrace the absurdity of life with each sip.

Presto, a briefly fantastical breather in the grand theater of existence. Ah, the Tully Tea. A drink best enjoyed while pondering life’s discomforts and the elusive pursuit of fleeting pleasures. Just like sipping on a Tully Tea, isn’t it delightful to temporarily forget about the absurdity of existence and drown one’s sorrows in a glass of bitter irony and a twist of cynicism? Because who wouldn’t want to escape from the inevitable complexities and challenges of existence with a well-crafted concoction that perfectly captures the essence of despair? Cheers to finding solace in the temporary respite of a cocktail, a mere distraction from the grand absurdity of it all. Cheers!
