How to make Whiskey Sangaree

Whiskey Sangaree? Yes please!

I’m a big bourbon fan, and for the longest time, an Old-Fashioned was my favorite drink. At age 21, I had a very modest income from multiple part time jobs, but invested in bitters, bourbon, and sugar to make it.

Recently, I bought The Art of Mixology and decided to try my hand at a few cocktails. I found a sweeter alternative to the Old-Fashioned that is now a favorite of mine! Meet the Whiskey Sangaree, a thirst-quenching drink in an old-fashioned glass made with bourbon, sugar syrup, club soda, and port. Here are all the ingredients you’ll need right here.

Oh and don’t forget the ice!

This drink is damn good – well balanced with sweetness, some bubbles, and vanilla-y strong bourbon. Here’s how to make it!

Let me know what you think! I made this Whiskey Sangaree for myself after a virtual drag show and it had me feeling quite fancy on a Saturday evening.

Cheers! By the way, check out this other delicious non-alcoholic drink recipe from the same book. I highly recommend the Art of Mixology for anyone that enjoys feeling fancy with a good cocktail.
