A bold twist on the classic, this Spicy Wild West Whiskey Sour blends the rich smokiness of cherry wood with a fiery chipotle-kissed rim. Smooth whiskey, tart lemon, and a touch of sweetness are balanced by the deep, smoldering finish of wood smoke—bringing the untamed spirit of the frontier straight to your glass.
