Refining the Open-bar Staple.

Whiskey sours are prolific, yet simple cocktails. There are many different takes, each with wildly different ingredients and flavor profiles. This version stays true to the cocktail’s origins while also adding some unconventional complexity thanks to the use of our homemade rhubarb tincture. Leave the sour mix in your cabinet. You’ll thank us later.
