Best Tucson Cocktail

The Dillinger Sidecar, at Hotel Congress

STAFF PICK: This complex, all too drinkable concoction was created especially for the hotel by the utterly talented Nate, who gave a cowboy edge to this old-fashioned cocktail by replacing the brandy with whisky. It seems a little bit sweet at first, but can truly kick some ass, kind of like Loretta Lynn. The fresh lemon juice and sugared rim revive you in the dusty desert heat, and the Maker's Mark will have you feeling like an outlaw in no time.
