Improved (Strawberry) Whiskey Cocktail
In the mid to late 1800s, “a cocktail” primarily consisted of liquor, sugar, and water. The Improved Whiskey cocktail added imports like maraschino liqueur or absinthe. The original recipe does not include strawberry simple syrup but can be substituted with other syrups. Serving it on the rocks balances the strong flavor.
