Pro Tips

  • Whiskey choice: Use a smooth bourbon or rye to complement the citrus flavors while maintaining the whiskey’s depth.
  • Lime juice: Freshly squeezed lime juice enhances the drink’s brightness and balance.
  • Glass chilling: Chill your glass in the freezer for a few minutes to keep the cocktail crisp and refreshing.
