About

This is a cranberry-orange whisky sour and it’s a great specialty cocktail for any holiday party. A whisky sour is considered a classic bourbon drink that is subtly sweet and sour at the same time. This old-timer has been around since the late 1800's and this is my version with a slightly more modern twist. Cheers!
