Welcome to Episode 88 of Thirsty Thursday Cocktails on Your Bourbon Journey! Tonight, Rebecca crafts The Harvest Bramble Sour, a crisp, layered amaro-sour hybrid designed to celebrate late-season fruit, robust Indiana grain, and bittersweet alpine botanicals.
By pairing the 100-proof backbone of Starlight Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon with the rich, jammy depth of Starlight Blackberry Whiskey, this cocktail skips cloying syrups in favor of complexity. Amaro Nonino adds an elegant, bitter-orange mid-palate, fresh lemon juice provides a vibrant sour snap, and orchard plum bitters tie the entire autumn profile together.
If you love spirit-forward whiskey sours with depth, balance, and a dry, sophisticated finish, this is your new go-to fall cocktail.
