Crown Royal Whisky Sour adds a touch of sweetness to that familiar pucker
The latest offering in The Cocktail Collection, the Crown Royal Black Cherry Whisky Sour highlights a lovely balance between a subtle pucker with a hint of sweetness. Put down the shaker and simply pour a serving over ice.
Many people love a well-balanced cocktail but prefer less hassle when sipping a libation at home. The effort to get out the shaker, all the ingredients, and hope that the final result satisfies can be a little too much pressure. Ease and convenience can often influence the beverage drunk.
The Cocktail Collection from Diageo simplifies the process. Featuring some of the brand’s iconic liquors, the ready to drink beverages satisfy that thirst for classic cocktails. Whether it is wanting a single pour on a Friday evening or giving guests options at a party, the reality is that these bottles have become a favorite.
The latest cocktail joining the Diageo RTD line is Crown Royal Whisky Sour. While many people love a great sour cocktail, it can require a deft hand to find the balance. Appreciating how to highlight the sugar without it becoming cloying and keeping the sour subtle is key to this classic cocktail.
With the Crown Royal Whisky Sour, the blended Canadian whisky is the foundation to the flavor. The liquor’s versatility allows it to meld to both the sour and the sweet in this cocktail.
While the lemon juice offers that tartness, it is the black cherry that brings all the flavors together. Similar to how a cherry makes a Manhattan even more enjoyable, the subtle sweetness supports all the other flavors. It makes this ready to drink cocktail feel as if it was made by mixologist.
Even though The Cocktail Collection ready to drink beverage is convenient, it can be served with a little bit of flare. For example, why not ribbon a lemon peel around a cherry for a garnish. Or, consider a candied lemon peel for something a little different. That little extra effort is worth it.
