Getting In A Sour Mood for Whiskey Sour Day

Getting In A Sour Mood for Whiskey Sour Day

August 25, 2016, marks Whiskey Sour Day, and as the day quickly approaches, we have some delicious twists on this classic cocktail from Basil Hayden’s and Baker’s Bourbon to help you celebrate. 

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 WiznitzerBaker’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!
