Whiskey Ain’t Working Anymore, Red Rabbit

Illustration by Sarah Hansel

Most of us put away the Jägermeister after our early 20s, right? Only so much good can come from a liquor that tastes like medicine and feels like death. Turns out there’s a place for it, though: in Red Rabbit’s Whiskey Ain’t Working Anymore ($11). It takes the forcefully herby syrup of Jäger and rolls it around with apple cider, bitters, ginger, lemon and more into a more refreshing flavor profile that tastes primarily of grapefruit. Plus, there’s a Travis Tritt song by the same name, so feel free to whisper lines like “I need one good honky-tonk angel / To turn my life around” as you sip this one. 2718 J Street, https://theredrabbit.net.
