IWSA Ray of Sunshine - Irish Whiskey Cocktail
Posted by Irish Whiskey USA on
A ray of sunshine is a common phrase meaning 'something that just makes you feel happier or cheerful'. Our IWSA version of the Ray of Sunshine cocktail accomplishes both. Simple to make but complex in flavor. The Ray of Sunshine uses both rum and whiskey to create a combination Collins style cocktail with a tropical twist. With lemon and ginger notes for a zesty sweetness, this drink will keep you refreshed while you bask in the sunshine's rays.
