Review

Arguably, when numbering my fruit cups, I left the best till last. (I skipped number 16 because the number 7 so befits a Tennessee whiskey-based cocktail). If using a 40% alc./vol. Tennessee whiskey (as opposed to a higher alc./vol. special bottling) then this recipe benefits from an extra splash (5ml (1/6oz) to 10ml (1/3oz). Tennessee whiskey adds an appealing sweet toasty note to this fruit cup.

When it comes to cocktails, I'm a minimalist (least amount of ingredients). I saw this and it is over 100 F/ 37 C today where I live and thought what the heck. Man, I am glad I tried this. It was a very nice cocktail. I was afraid the Tennessee Whiskey would get lost in all of this so I upped it to 1 1/2 oz/45mls and was very glad I did. The Whiskey comes through better in my opinion. Will definitely be making this again! Great job Mr. Difford.
