Is whiskey sour commonly made with Scotch or bourbon? Been scrolling through countless recipes, and honestly, getting combined alerts. Some swear via Scotch for that smoky vibe, even as others champion bourbon's sweetness. What's your go-to for this conventional cocktail? Curious to look what every body prefers.
