What's your recipe? If I may ask.
Wally_Hood said:With the lemon, it was close to a whiskey sour. Which is not bad, but if I wanted a whiskey sour, I'd make one.
The basic receipe is simple syrup, a couple dashes of bitters in an Old-Fashioned glass; swirl to mix. Add ice most of the way up. Add bourbon and stir. I do not add or muddle cherries.
N.B.: I have muddled an orange slice with the simple syrup and the bitters. The orange flavor is prefered to the lemon. Is leaving out the orange a violation of some code?
