Sour Bourbon Cocktail: Lavender Lemon Whiskey Sour

March 28, 2022

This post about a sour bourbon cocktail was a reel I did in collaboration with Old Forester. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Is there anything more refreshing than a lemony cocktail to welcome spring? I’m working with Old Forester and they sent me a bottle of their 1910 Old Fine Whisky. After looking through a bunch of cookbooks and online articles, I combined a few recipes to make a Lavender Lemon Whiskey Sour. I’m sharing all the ingredients, instructions, and even a how-to video below.
