“Balance is key in every relationship, and a good cocktail is just as important. The smooth rich flavors of a summery red sangria balance out the tang of a whiskey sour in this ‘Better Together’ combination. The perfect harmony of flavor in this cocktail is a match made in mixology heaven.” – Trisha Antonsen, chief cocktail officer at Drizly.com.This recipe is courtesy of Trisha Antonsen, chief cocktail officer at Drizly.com.
