My wife expressed an interest in this drink, even though she's not always a fan of whiskey cocktails. Neither one of us liked very much it at first, because it was very sour and lemony at the top. But as we got to the middle of the drink, the mint started to kick in, and we agreed that it became a much more enjoyable drink at that point. As a result, I would recommend serving this drink with a small straw so that people taste the minty part of the drink first.
