Did you know August 25th is National Whiskey Sour day? Don’t worry, that’s what we’re here for. To celebrate, we’ve been whipping up whiskey sours to try all week and chose some of our favorites to highlight for you over the weekend. Today we’re featuring the “Secret Sour” made with Kilbeggan Irish Whiskey. What’s so secret about it? Well, for one, it includes way more ingredients than the traditional recipe, so it’s more of a twist on the whiskey sour. It’s pretty damn tasty though, so it works for me. The key to this drink is the base whiskey itself. Kilbeggan is a great mixing whiskey, and works great with the ingredients Joaquin Simo chose when making this. Check out the recipe below and let us know what you think.
