Birth Control Cocktail (Whiskey + Gin Power Mix)
A daring two-spirit mix of whiskey and gin built for those who like their cocktails fierce and unapologetic. The Birth Control is bold, boozy, and unforgettable—a drink that proves simplicity can still hit hard.
The Story
Born from bartenders who like to push boundaries, the Birth Control isn’t subtle. It’s a two-ingredient experiment that turns defiance into flavor—half whiskey heat, half gin snap.
What You’ll Need
Ingredients
- Whiskey – the warm, oaky core.
- Gin – sharp, botanical contrast.
Equipment
- Mixing glass
- Bar spoon
- Whisky tumbler
Why It Works
This drink’s power comes from tension—bourbon’s caramel and gin’s juniper sparring in the same glass. Served cold and clean, it’s a test of character for anyone who claims to love strong cocktails.
Variations
- Swap bourbon for rye if you want more spice.
- Try Old Tom gin for a rounder edge.
- Add a lemon twist to highlight the botanicals.
Tips
Stir thoroughly to chill without dilution. Use a single large cube for slow melt. Serve it when you want reactions.
