Instructions
In the bottom of a short glass, muddle the sugar and bitters along with a tiny splash of soda water, just to help muddle them. If you choose to add the fruits, add them and muddle them as well. (Do not add the whiskey before the sugar has dissolved.) Add the whiskey and stir to combine. Serve over ice, if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
This is not a drink for the weak. I couldn’t stand it and seriously debated whether to even post it. However, I realize that my beloved Coconut Lemon Sours isn’t for everyone. So, this is for those of you that might lean more towards savory cocktails over the sweet ones.
