Flavored Liquors Add so Much!
Normally I am not a fan of flavored store bought liquors. I prefer to make them myself like: DIY Ginger Liqueur, Vanilla Infused Rum, and Chamomile Pear Infused Vodka.
However, when my husband brought home some Ole Smokey Mango Habanero Whiskey, and I had a sip of it, I was in love! It was sweet and hot. The heat was almost a little too much for me, but I figured it would be perfect in a cocktail.
I wanted to make sure that all of the flavor of the mango and the habanero came through, so treating it as simple as possible was the goal. One of my favorite ways to drink whiskey is a simple whiskey sour, so Mango Habanero Whiskey Sour seemed like the perfect choice.
Mango Habanero Whiskey Sour
I was right, this cocktail was amazing. A whiskey sour in it's simplest form is whiskey, some sort of sour, and some sort of sweet. For this I used the Mango Habanero Whiskey, lime juice, and simple syrup.
I've had mango salad with lime and thought that the lime juice would complement the mango flavoring of the whiskey. This was so good! The heat was still there, so it kept this a sipping cocktail, but it was tempered a bit with the simple syrup. This has become one of my favorite cocktails!

What can you use in place of the simple syrup in the mango habanero whiskey sour?
Pam Greer says
A little bit of sugar.

This whiskey is not really a whiskey more than a sweet/hot cordial. It absurdly hot (which is nice) but sickenly sweet. It’s a love hate relationship for me and I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with this bottle. This recipe is a good attempt but it’s still better neat.
Pam Greer says
I love it, but then I am partial to sweet cordial type drinks.
Connie says
