How to stay cool:
Last week, we watched bartender Cyllan Hicks shake up a Dewar’s Sour Rouge on Facebook Live. This week, make his other egg-free take on the whisky sour at home:
2 oz. DISARONNO
1 oz. lemon juice
½ oz. simple syrup (1:1 ratio of sugar and water)
4-6 Generous dashes of Angostura Bitters
Shake and pour over rocks. Add dashes of Angostura Bitters. Garnish with lemon peel.
