Editor's Note

Bourbon meets tiki in this classic sour. Honey and pomegranate-rich grenadine provide a deep, velvety profile that balances the spirit's proof.

This is such a fantastic classic tiki recipe! The balance of the honey and grenadine with the bourbon is spot on. Do you have a favorite brand of bourbon you like to use for this, or do you find it works well with any 90-proof bottle?
