Tasty! Nice option if you're in the mood for a fruity, whiskey sour.

I went rogue on this one, replaced the lemon with lime, lowered the Jack 1/4 oz, upped the cherry 1/4 oz, and added a dash of spiced cherry bitters and orange bitters. It’s a Jack cherry limeade! ?

Good sour. JD shows upfront with a hint of cherry in the middle and a nice sour finish
