## Cocktails

- [Horsefeather](https://stirred.fyi/cocktails/horsefeather.md): A Kansas City whiskey highball pushes ginger beer hard against aromatic bitters and a squeezed lemon wedge for a peppery, regional cousin of the buck.
- [Lemon Lime & Bitters](https://stirred.fyi/cocktails/lemon-lime-and-bitters.md): Sparkling lemonade, lime cordial, fresh citrus, and aromatic bitters make an adult Australian refresher with only trace alcohol.
- [Sherry Cobbler](https://stirred.fyi/cocktails/sherry-cobbler.md): A long, low-proof sherry drink brightened with fresh citrus and served lavishly cold over crushed ice.
- [Whiskey Smash](https://stirred.fyi/cocktails/whiskey-smash.md): Muddled lemon flesh and peel make this bourbon-and-mint cooler more pulpy and aromatic than either a Whiskey Sour or a Mint Julep.
- [Yale Cocktail](https://stirred.fyi/cocktails/yale-cocktail.md): Old Tom gin, two bitters, lemon oil, and a small soda charge preserve the original 1895 Yale as a brisk pre-Martini cocktail rather than a later blue namesake.
