Fruity

The Singleton Sour is a refined take on the classic whisky sour, combining the smooth character of The Singleton with fresh lemon juice and honey syrup for a balanced sweet-tart profile. Egg white adds a silky texture, while a maraschino cherry garnish brings a subtle hint of fruit to round out this elegant, well-structured cocktail.
