We’re in Portland at the moment, staying with an aunt and uncle, and those aunt and uncle have a beautiful Meyer lemon tree hanging heavy with fruit at the moment. So to start off last night’s family dinner, Brett and I whipped up a quick, fresh, ridiculously easy version of a whiskey sour, nothing but Meyer lemon juice, orange juice, honey, and bourbon. It was tart and sweet and delicious, a perfect reminder of spring.
