A Refreshing Whiskey Sour
The Whiskey Sour is a classic cocktail made whiskey (or bourbon), lemon juice, orange juice, and simple syrup. Garnish with a cherry and orange (or lemon slice). It's a beloved drink among many, easy to make and super refreshing -- and will soon be one of your go-to party favorites!
Prep Time 5 minutes mins
Total Time 5 minutes mins
- 2.25 ounces Bourbon
- 1/2 whole lemon juiced
- 1/2 whole orange juiced
- 1/2 ounce simple syrup or to taste
Combine all ingredients in a martini shaker filled with ice. Shake until well combined and cold, and pour into a rock (or old-fashioned glass) filled with ice.
Garnish with a Luxardo or maraschino cherry and orange (or lemon) slice.
- For the whiskey or bourbon, use your favorite variety. For my recipe, I used High West American Prairie Bourbon, which is very rich and earthy.
- Depending upon how juicy your oranges or lemons are, you may want to add more or less of their juices than the recipe indicates.
- A garnish of a Luxardo cherry was used; traditional maraschino cherries are also terrific.
