Dilly Dally Sour

"We love bourbon sours, and we love them even more with fresh herbs like dill and mint. Bourbon, mint and Peychaud's bitters are a tried and true combination dating back to the late 1800's. The addition of dill adds a fun anise, fennel and celery flavor and aroma. Give me this cocktail, 95 degrees, humidity, and New Orleans."
