Whiskey is one of those spirits that has a real love/hate reputation. For some, there is no better cocktail than a simple glass of bourbon on the rocks or a neat little scotch on hand while they wind down after work. For others it’s the party-ender. That “one drink too many” that can turn a great night sour. No matter what group you fall into, there are so many different ways to use whiskey in cocktails that any skeptic can be converted. For some, a cold refreshing citrus style drink is the way to go.
