tried it, but only had bourbon, not the whiskey it suggested. used Sprite instead of the lemon-lime soda. turned out great! Simple and refreshing. Just had to adjust a bit, but still a thumbs up. 🍹

It's better than I expected. Not a huge fan of cocktails as I usually find them too sweet. But this one is simple and refreshing. The whiskey taste comes through just enough. I might even make it again!
