Rock and Rye

Spooned into tea or sipped straight, this spicy-sweet cordial is almost worth getting the sniffles for. This recipe first appeared in our November 2012 issue along with Kara Newman's story Good Medicine.

Whiskey, sugar, fruit....and GOOD for you too! Sign me up! I'm trying to find this. No local shop has it (I'm in Texas) and the internet hasn't even heard of Hochstadter's. Jacquin's is not available at online stores. HELP! Has anyone made the homemade version and it is good?
