A citrusy Bourbon Whiskey Sour. The quality of your grenadine will make or break this cocktail

my wife liked it because you can’t really taste the alcohol under all the lemon juice and grenadine. but since I like to actually taste my bourbon, it’s not really my thing...

As with tomato and basil, Bourbon and Grenadine were made for each other. We went with lime instead of lemon, thinking that the citrus needed a bit more kick to stand up to the prescribed volume of Grenadine. A very delicious cocktail.

Didn’t have triple sec so used dry orange instead. Was sweet enough for my taste.
