88. I'm known for making whiskey sours

That's your favourite Canadian whiskey (I think US whiskey is crap) mixed with premade Mott's margarita mix, which is really just fancy lime juice.

I sometimes substitute the Canadian whiskey with Irish, usually Bush Mills Black Bush, a sweeter Irish whiskey but not overpowering.
