Whiskey Spritz

Print Recipe
This is an easy to make low alcohol cocktail designed to refresh. Since it's low alcohol you can make a big batch of these to enjoy without worrying about getting too drunk. A lot of cocktails can be very strong, and yes, that can be fun, but ultimately, we all just want a great tasting drink. And this is one.
It's also just a great Scotch based cocktail. As Whiskey cocktails go, Bourbon and Rye tend to be more common, so it's nice to find a reason to use Scotch. Enjoy!

Notes

A Spritz style cocktail is nice and refreshing, and not too boozy, so you can enjoy a few of these without worrying about overdoing it. Cocktails are great and all, but can often be pretty high in alcohol; this means it's hard to enjoy too many cocktails without regretting it later. Slow yourself down with a Spritz. You won't regret it.
