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

Notes
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.
Will be making more recipes soon! Until then, I’ll see you next time.
