Recipe author: I could not pin point the exact recipe author, or who was the first to have an idea of hazelnut-bourbon sour. However great recipes have been published by Flair Project and Steve the Bartender.
A great and unusual spin on the classic sour cocktail. An addition of hazelnut liqueur pairs well with the aroma of smoky Islay whisky, creating an interesting experience and uplifting the otherwise usual and familiar bourbon sour notes.
This cocktail is ready to surprise you.
