Sour

Sweet

This fresh, sour style drink was created by Rhys Wilson at the 2017 Chivas Masters. A sweeter twist on the classic Whisky Sour recipe, Vanity uses black apple aperitif for a subtle sweetness that works to draw out the orchard fruit flavours in Chivas 12. This whisky cocktail recipe also integrates sweet cranberries in a unique way: by shaking them with the cocktail mix. This ensures a subtle hint of flavour as the fruit infuses the mix, rather than an intense syrup or cordial.
