A Tranquil Pour

Meet the Jasmine Tea Whiskey Sour, a cocktail that brings together the smooth depth of Japanese whisky with the delicate floral essence of jasmine tea. It’s a sip of tranquility, layered with citrus brightness and just the right touch of sweetness.

As a longtime Whiskey Sour fan, I am always looking for ways to elevate the classic without losing what makes it great. I love how jasmine tea has a natural sweetness and a soft, lingering aroma and it feels like the perfect complement to the slightly smoky notes of Japanese whisky.

This floral infused cocktail is perfect for spring gatherings, intimate nights in, or when you just want to elevate your whiskey game!
