The Silver Slice was invented in the tasting room of Shmidt Spirits to answer one of the biggest questions we would receive from people who sampled our curious, unique Silver spirit, a young whiskey finished in a chardonnay barrel: What is this good in?
Silver could take the place of tequila or vodka easily, but we wanted to create a drink that was true to its refreshing spirit without coasting off the backs of other liquors. So we took a classic whiskey sour as our jumping-off point and soon enough Master Distiller Brian J. Roan had created the Silver Slice, a chilled cocktail that his own father would describe as tasking like Italian ice from his hometown of Queens, New York. With its uniform proportions of common ingredients and its delectable sweetness, the Silver Slice is a primed for parties, after-dinner drinks, or a warm day in the sun.
