Thirsty Thursday Cocktails – Episode 24 – The Monte Whiskey Sour

Get ready for your new favorite sour! We’re diving deep into the Monte Whiskey Sour, a drink that takes everything you love about a classic whiskey sour and elevates it with incredible depth and aroma.

Our star bourbon, Four Roses OBSF, brings its unique high-rye spice and minty notes to the party, while Amaro Montenegro adds its signature orange, herbal, and subtly bitter charm. Forget plain sugar – we’re using Demerara syrup for a rich, caramel backbone that makes every sip sing.

And the foam? Silky Fee Foam gives you that beautiful, creamy texture without the egg. But the real secret weapon? Aromatic orange bitters for bright zest, and a touch of black walnut bitters for a surprising, earthy richness that will blow your mind. This is balanced, complex, and utterly delicious.
