I wanted to create a cocktail that had ties to my love for travel. Anyone that knows me well, knows I am in love with the sweet and spicy combo. I
wanted to highlight some Asian(Yuzu,Ginger) and Hispanic(Tajin) influences along with North American (Strawberries,Bourbon) to the not so traditional whiskey sour. This fruitful cocktail has hints of savory notes that keeps your mouth watering and the sun shining!
