Cocktail glass
Lime juice and whiskey runs the harder-acid version of the whisky sour family — lime's bright cut against whiskey's caramel and grain weight, with sugar usually rounding the build. The Smokestack Lightning and Sea Legs are typical builds, while the Raspberry Lynchburg and Christmas Cake Martini run variations. Twenty-eight cocktails sit on this combo, mostly shaken, all of them happier with fresh lime.
