A terrific way to literally spice up your Whiskey Sours!
I see other recipes calling for 1:1 with Rye and Chili liqueur, but I think Difford has his specs adjusted well - the chili makes its presence known without overpowering the rye.

Used Rittenhouse Bottled In Bond Straight Rye Whisky + Ancho Reyes. Interesting drink. Did not use any garnishing.

I would say go easy on the seasoning on the garnish, as it can overwhelm the drink, but really a great cocktail. I've been looking for uses for chile liqueur and this is going in my rotation.

1.5 Elijah Craig Small Batch

.25 Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur
1 dash Angostura
Stirred down like an Old Fashioned, strained onto a large cube.

I hem and haw between a lemon or an orange zest expressed gently onto the drink, both are great, depends on the person which I choose.
