Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
The news these days is enough to drive you to drink. That's why we asked a local barfly, Schmitty, to take on the task of creating a shot to go with the hottest story in the news. His debut offering? The Joe Paterno Shot.
It's pretty much an Old Fashioned, Schmitty reports, but as a shot.
The Joe Paterno Bourbon Squirt of simple syrup Dash of bitters (okay, who are we kidding -- a LOT of bitters)
Cover that up with anything handy (a napkin will suffice)
Close your eyes, and bottoms up! (Or is that last part the Sandusky?)
Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
