I dropped into the Hatfield's new digs last night for dinner at the last minute, really glad they didn't turn me away even though I showed up at 9:57 (and they close at 10:00). It was a pretty good...

I need a recipe for frozen whiskey sours for a holiday party next weekend. I've seen many--some of which include iced tea, and I'm out of time for recipe testing. Anyone?

Any information welcome. TIA
