Justified Returns!

The fifth season of Justified premieres tonight on FX at 10pm EST. It looks like this season’s villains will be relatives of perpetual loser Dewey Crowe who have come up to Harlan from the Everglades.

I can’t wait!

To help you enjoy the first episode, “A Murder of Crowes”, even more here are some recipes from the Justified blog on FX.

And if you’d really like to get in the spirit, why not make a cocktail or two for your evening in? Here are a couple of Justified-inspired drinks:

Raylan’s Kentucky Sour

4 parts Maker’s Mark (2 oz.)
2 parts lemon juice (1 oz.)
Squeeze of orange
Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with cracked ice. Pour into tumbler.

Boyd’s Kentucky Old Fashioned
4 parts Maker’s Mark (2 oz.)
2 dashes bitters
1 splash water
Sugar (1 tsp.)
1 orange slice

Mix sugar, water and bitters in an old-fashioned glass. Muddle orange wedge into a paste. Pour in Maker’s Mark bourbon, fill with ice cubes, and stir.
