The Whiskey Tango Players
To start, select a solid, simple whiskey versus a collector’s item or expensive one you might sip on in its solo form. You will also need 1/2 oz simple syrup, store bought or homemade. Additional ingredients include the juice of 1/2 lemon and the juice of 1/2 lime.
Regarding ice, you can use one large ice block or sphere or several smaller cubes of your choice/ convenience.
Lastly, a great option is to provide great visual effect by garnishing with fresh blackberries and/ or lemon wedge, peel or shaving.
