No one makes this drink right and I’m mad (Doctor Cocktail)

Today we’re revisiting one of my favorites: the Doctor Cocktail! I first made this drink on the channel years ago, back when our community was much smaller (if you were around then, thank you for sticking with me!). Now that the channel has grown, I wanted to bring this recipe back for a broader audience. Most versions of the Doctor Cocktail lean too tart, which I think is why it’s never gotten the attention it deserves. With just a few tweaks and some thoughtful balancing, this drink transforms into something truly memorable - one you’ll want to come back to again and again. Whether you’re new here or you’ve been along since the early days, I hope you enjoy this take as much as I do. Cheers!
