Wednesday Special

A traditional drink originating from Crestomere, Alberta, Canada, created in 1966 by Douglas McLouvin. It consists of 2 oz of Canadian rye whisky (typically J.P. Wiser’s), a splash of water, and ice cubes, served in a plastic cup no larger than 9 oz. No garnishes are permitted, and serving it in a larger cup is considered offensive to tradition.
