If you like New York Sours then you should try this bourbon-laced, red aromatised riff on a classic 20th Century.

Used Rye and Dark Crème de Cacao. Very good! I will make this one again when I get a bottle of White Crème de Cacao to see the difference.

Used a blended whiskey instead of bourbon to lessen the sweetness from the corn. Resulting cocktail was a bit dryer. Nice hints of lemon. Good overall cocktail.

Excellent drink. I recommend using a stronger bourbon to counteract the sweetness
