Smoky Lemon Whiskey Sour

Smoky Whiskey Sour with Meyer Lemon and Rosemary

Alison Needham
This Smokey Whiskey Sour cocktail hits all the right notes; it's flavorful and bright, with a hint of sultry from the double hit of rosemary and Laphroaig. We enjoy them all winter long. The "smoky" flavor of this cocktail comes from the super peaty Laphroaig, and let me tell you, a little dab will do you. On its own, many would consider it an acquired taste, but when you add a few drops to this cocktail, it imbues it with a cozy warmth that's just like your favorite flannel shirt.

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the simple syrup by putting the sugar, water and rosemary together in a small sauce pan. Heat the mixture over medium and stir until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and refrigerate until cool. The longer you leave the rosemary in the syrup, the stronger the flavor will be. I typically leave it in the syrup for a few hours.
  • Make the cocktails. Fill two tumblers or rocks glasses with crushed ice. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
  • Add the bourbon, lemon juice, simple syrup and Laphroaig 10 to the cocktail shaker. Stir well until everything is combined and cold. Strain into the tumblers. Add a slice of lemon and a sprig of rosemary to garnish.
