Review

I've dropped the bourbon and added a touch of sugar to ease this berry fruit whiskey-laced sour.

Spectacular. Very nice balance of sweet and sour, fruit and spirits. So refreshing —I'll have to go slow with this one!

I've added my own version of this recipe which removes the orange liqueur (Cointreau) in favor of showcasing more of the mure and accentuating the spicy citrus character of the orange by adding orange bitters and orange peels to the shake. It better suits my loud taste. (2 Jul 2022, 12:53p)
