Bourbon Limoncello Cocktail

Picture of Heather Wibbels, Cocktail Contessa, pouring a cocktailHeather Wibbels
Crash your next party sour with limoncello and a bit of peach preserves to make a fast and easy cocktail with the ingredients you have on hand. The combination of limoncello’s tart and sweet notes builds a lovely whiskey sour, and a dash of bitters provides the balance to the the lemon liqueur’s sweet and tart profile.
