This cocktail is perfect for fall get togethers. It’s a simple variation on a classic whiskey sour with some autumn inspired flavors. This version uses Cherry Heering and a spoon of smoky Laphroaig to pull the vibe fully into October.
You can go heavier on the Laphroaig if you want a more intense smoke flavor, but here we’ve kept it to a careful spoonful not to overpower the more subtle Cherry Heering.
A little bit of simple syrup takes the edge off the lime juice and helps keeps things balanced. If you have a nice jar of amarena cherries in syrup, use the cherry syrup instead to intesify the fruity flavor. The end result is familiar enough to be a crowd pleaser, but special enough to make people ask what’s inside.
