Classic Whiskey Sour
No need to head to your local bar and overpay for your favorite classic cocktail when you can mix one up right at home! A Whiskey Sour is truly timeless and so easy to make. It’s concocted with simple ingredients you love, and none of the frills you don’t need. Oh, and you can’t forget the cherries! There’s something about a Whiskey Sour garnished with cherries that’s just so simple and stunning. Plus, the cherries get to soak up the tangy and sweet notes of the cocktail while you sip on it, so they’re even tastier to eat right at the end. Extra cherries in my glass, please!

Recipe Notes
Whiskey: Forms the base of this drink. Be sure to use a high-quality, high-proof whiskey that you know you like! I recommend bourbon for the most traditional taste. Lemon Juice: Adds acidity and balances out the sweetness of the whiskey and simple syrup. Simple Syrup: Adds sweetness and balances out the acidity of the lemon juice.
Sweet, sour, and oh so smooth. There’s so much to love about a classic Whiskey Sour!
