Whether you’ve made it into the NCAA’s Elite Eight, or were left languishing on the side of the court, you can appreciate this cocktail spawned by March Madness. Bourbon for all the whiskey producing states, Jägermeister for college memories, and Angostura to keep it honest.

Elite Eight
1 1/2 ounce bourbon
1/2 ounce Jägermeister
2 dashes Angostura bitters

Put all ingredients in an ice-filled mixing glass and stir. Strain over several ice cubes in an old-fashioned glass. Squeeze a narrow wedge of orange over the drink and drop it on top.

Tasting notes: Strong and tasty, lifted by the squeeze of orange.

Tomorrow: Weekend coming.
