TCB Sour at Compère Lapin: Whisk(e)y Wednesday presented by Lock & Key

by Sydney "Brown Nose" Blanchard

The award-winning mixologists at Compère Lapin, Top Chef Nina Compton's new restaurant, are slinging their latest creation in honor of National Bourbon Heritage Month.

Enter the TCB Sour, the restaurant's iteration of a whiskey sour made with bourbon, lemon, orgeat cherry, and byrrh (a wine-based digestif).

I'm not a huge fan of the whiskey sour normally, but I think the sweetness of the orgeat cherry (an almond-based syrup) and the byrrh would convince me otherwise. 

Check out the recipe below, and definitely head to Compère Lapin if you haven't already!
