  • Bracingly tart in a way that earns the name. A nice fruity and spicy alternative to the more common herbal equal-4-parts Last Word-esque cocktails. (4.5)
  • Used lime juice. With lime, could reduce the amount to, say, 1/2 oz, to let the drambuie shine. However the tarntness was delicious, making a slightly herbal whiskey sour.
  • Sour lemon zest flavor dominates. Pleasing complexity underneath. — ★★★★

Comments

I used Meyer lemon juice. Excellent! In the neighborhood of a Sidecar, but more balanced.
