  • Only had bianco, so I used that, and went slight with the maraschino and fat with the lemon. Whiskey sour taste with some added grape and nut.
  • I made it with Elijah Craig 12 Yr Old bourbon. Probably would have been better w the 4 Roses. Also only had Noily Pratt Dry vermouth May try again w 4 Roses and Dolin or the suggested Vya.
  • Subbed Atsby Armadillo Cake for the Vya, with excellent results. — ★★★★★
  • Whiskey sour on steroids. Delicious! — ★★★★★
  • Didn't have the recommended vermouth. Used 1/2 recommended part sweet Vermut Lacuesta and 1/2 part Gran Classico bitters. Interesting

Comments

Subbed Atsby Armadillo Cake vermouth for the Vya. Outstanding!

I had to sub for Woodford and Noily Pratt. Luxardo is an overpowering flavor for me so I dropped to 1/2 oz and added 1/4 oz simple syrup. Nice twist on the usual whiskey sour!
