Experience the nuanced complexity of the Lovingston Sour, an elevated classic featuring Virginia Distillery Company Port Cask Finished Virginia-Highland Whisky. This exceptional pour blends the soft, dried fruit notes of the port-finished Virginia whiskey with a measured tartness, all unified by aromatic bitters. It’s a remarkably smooth, richly flavored whiskey cocktail designed for slow sips, offering a taste of Virginia’s artisanal spirit heritage in every glass.
Prep: Gather all liquid components, including the Port Cask Finished Virginia-Highland Whisky, simple syrup, sour mix, and bitters. Select a chilled coupe or rocks glass and a lemon wedge for the final garnish.
Mix: Pour the Virginia-Highland Whisky, bitters, simple syrup, and sour mix directly into a mixing glass.
Stir: Fill the mixing glass with ice. Stir the ingredients deliberately for about 30 seconds to achieve the optimal chill and desired dilution.
Serve: Strain the chilled cocktail mixture into the prepared glass over fresh ice or neat, depending on preference.
Garnish: Express the oils from the lemon wedge over the drink, then place it elegantly on the rim or drop it into the glass.
