I sometimes find whisky cocktails a touch overpowering in terms of taste, but this one is nice and light, even in summer.

Was actually surprised by how much I enjoyed this cocktail, especially since it’s whisky-based. I wanted to try something new, and this turned out to be a great choice for someone who’s just starting out with the spirit. The mint and lemon add a brightness to it, that balances the whisky and makes it feel more approachable
