While whiskey forms the robust base of the drink, the mint introduces a cool, herbal nuance that complements the sweetness and tang of the lemonade. A dash of Angostura bitters adds a layer of complexity, giving the cocktail a subtle, spiced undertone. Typically served in a highball glass, the Mint Source is designed to be enjoyed cold, offering a stimulating experience that can be particularly appealing on a hot day or as a lively accompaniment to a casual gathering.
