A Whiskey Ditch is just whiskey and water. Montana legend says people used to use slushy snow from the edge of a ditch. I don’t know how sanitary that is, but I like using fresh snow.
It’s pretty neat how insanely fast the snow melts when you add the whiskey (bourbon for me tonight). Like cotton candy in water.
Should be no sediment in the drink - if there is then your snow isn’t clean enough. And never use lemon snow!
I’m very excited for summer, but every season has something nice that the others don’t. Though I suppose I could use a shaved ice machine or something…
People telling me to stay clear of the elusive yellow snow, I know you all want to keep the special whiskey sour recipe a secret. But I know and you cannot keep me away from it.
