Getting In A Sour Mood for Whiskey Sour Day
By Chilled Magazine
Whiskey Sour Day is August 25th, 2016. Celebrate with delicious twists on this classic cocktail from Basil Hayden’s® and Baker’s Bourbon®.
Basil Hayden’s is a smooth and spicy bourbon with a high rye content that blends perfectly with the sweet vermouth and tonic syrup found in the Basil Hayden’s Summer Sour. The result is a flavor that’s both sweet and sour. Easy to make and delicious to drink, this cocktail is ideal to shake up for friends and family. Enjoy it in an ice-filled rocks glass for a cool cocktail in honor of Whiskey Sour Day.
At 107 proof, Baker’s Bourbon gives a bold touch to the timeless whiskey sour. Created by top NYC mixologist Pamela Wiznitzer, Baker’s Sip & Sour mixes cola syrup, Amaro Averna and bitters to complement the robust flavor and silky smooth finish of Baker’s Bourbon to create a new kind of whiskey sour, while lemon juice and egg white give the cocktail its classic touch. Pour this cocktail over ice in a lowball glass and raise a glass to the holiday.
