These really were great. I mixed up a batch before Mad Men the other night. Since we had Crown Royal in the house I just used that, but otherwise made the drink as Ina directed. I'm not a huge whiskey fan because most drinks I've had with whiskey taste too boozy (in a bad way for me. This one wasn't terribly strong and the fresh citrus was spectacular. You owe it to yourself to try one, whether watching Mad Men or not.

I'm so excited to have made something at home that I really enjoy! It's delicious. I believe the fresh lemon and lime made the difference. A lot of folks are suggesting using Maker's Mark, but Jack Daniels has always been tasty to me, so.... I cut down on the amount of ingredients, since it's just me drinking tonight!
