Smokey Whiskey Sour
7.5/ 10
The defining features are crushed ice and a half slice of lemon. It’s both sour and sweet. The alcohol and whiskey are barely noticeable, only warming the stomach later. Sugar granules are present but not bothersome. There’s something enjoyable, tasty, and soothing about this drink. The downside is the use of frozen lemon juice or juice from a carton, which brings an unpleasant bitterness. If the juice were freshly squeezed, it would be a 10/10.
A subjective rating. A personal impression.
