A tasty cocktail recipe

By: William Levins
Sour Billy CocktailAs a budding mixologist - I like to try new cocktails. I have a few recipe books and I've slowly been working my way through. Then the other night...disaster, I couldn't find my book...so I had to create a cocktail from scratch. Fortunately, it turned out delicious.
 
First some background. The wife and I have a lovely ritual. When we get home together, she'll start preparing dinner, and I'll mix us up a refreshing cocktail (then help with dinner). This works out well and we've found some very good cocktails - but they've all come from drink guides. But as I said, the other night the recipe books were no where to be found so I had to wing it. Admittedly I played it safe...mixing some standard alcohols with common mixers.
 
This drink probably already exists, as I said, it uses standard elixirs, but I'm not familiar with it and/or don't know the name....so for now, I'm calling it a Sour Billy.
