"On the Road" — the iconic novel by Jack Kerouac, a symbol of the Beat Generation. The book's protagonists, Sal Paradise and Dean Moriarty, drift across the United States, chasing freedom, adventure, and fleeting moments of clarity. In a small Texas bar, they sip a simple mix of whiskey and a double pour of port wine — the inspiration for this cocktail. We merge two classics in one glass: the boldness of an Old Fashioned and the rich fruitiness of a New York Sour. The result is a strong, expressive cocktail led by whiskey, softened by a touch of reduced wine and lemongrass.
