Blood Orange-Pomegranate SourSweet and smoky blended scotch whisky from The Famous Grouse enriches Andy Baraghani’s bright and festive sour.

A festive dinner party at Andy Baraghani’s New York home typically starts with something crisp and slightly acidic. The chef and cookbook author greets guests with distinctly Persian flavors—think fermented pickles or crunchy crudités—and a bright cocktail, like this smoky take on the traditional whisky sour, featuring tart pomegranate, blood orange, and a splash of The Famous Grouse Smoky Black.

The Famous Grouse is available to purchase from Caskers, Drizly, Reserve Bar, and select retailers nationwide.
