I haven't made many (or any?) drinks yet with the Johnny Smoking Gun, but the tea and smoke from the whiskey went fantastic with the butternut squash syrup. Thanks to Appel's Cordials for sharing a bottle of this with me! Bonus pic of my dog Bogie ignoring the drink.

Editor's Note

Johnny Smoking Gun whiskey meets earthy butternut squash syrup in this seasonal sour. The tea-forward smoke and vegetal sweetness create a balanced, autumnal profile.
