Review

All whiskies seem to work well in this fruit cup recipe – bourbon's richness rounds rather than heightens the drink.

This Bourbon Fruit Cup cocktail is a very pleasant taste experience, which is quite a statement on my side. A generation ago, I joined a research group at Wye College in Kent being one of the few, continental European master students attracted by the college's reputation in the horticultural / landscaping circles. And of course, I went to London to be inspired by the (still) amazing Chelsea Flower Show. At the show, I had to taste the ever present Pimm's Cup cocktail and it was definitely not to my taste (sorry, Englishpersons). Unbelievable, I stayed away from fruit cups ever since - only a few sangrias in certain settings. And now I tried this for me new cocktail, which I will enjoy again for sure. Thank you, Simon.
