The Blinker is a super simple three ingredient sipper with a really cute name. The other interesting thing about this drink is that when you look at the ingredients on paper they look like they won't work at all and then you try it, and the lights of heaven open up upon you and you just can't figure out how you could have possibly been so wrong but, you were and you're glad you were because it is a FANTASTIC DRINK!
The first version of this drink (as far as we can tell) was published by Patrick Gavin Duffy in his 1934 tome The Official Mixers Manual and it subsequently made an appearance in David A. Embry's The Fine Art Of Mixing Drinks published in 1948.
Alrighty Guys hope you like the drink! Happy Quarantine and STAY HEALTHY!
