Western Sour
Your choice of falernum makes or breaks this rye whiskey-laced citrusy cocktail

Subbed allspice dram for the falernum, as that was the closest I had. Pretty good, but very much in the category of "this would likely be better with rum".

Very refreshing. The edge of the over-proof rye is tempered by the other ingredients. Sour, but in a pleasant way. Perfect on a warm afternoon.

Made this with Old Overholt and John Taylors Velvet Falernum, Made it with lime like it called for but it was so good I want to try it with lemon next time. Very nice indeed!
