The Patch Tuesday:

• 2 dashes bitters (because Patch Tuesday is a little bit sour and a little bit bitter)
• 0.5 oz honey (to add a little hope)
• 1/2 of an egg white
• Shake everything together well over ice.
• Serve over ice, ideally 1 large whiskey cube.
• Garnish with a hard maraschino cherry.
• Serves 2 because no one should drink alone on Patch Tuesday.
