I basically wanted to come up with a pink whiskey sour that was floral and fun for our Spring menu at Pray Tell. We also had a bunch of Bergamot Liqueur lying around so I wanted to somehow add that in to the mix. Strawberry basil instantly speaks summer to me and gave me that light pink colour to the drink. It’s a beautifully balanced cocktail that you can sip on all day or all night!
