Whiskey Sour Recipe

Whiskey sours are a timeless cocktail that strikes the perfect balance between sweet, sour, and boozy. Here's a simple recipe to make this classic drink at home: Ingredients: - 2 oz (60 ml) whiskey (bourbon or rye whiskey works well) - 3/4 oz (22 ml) fresh lemon juice - 1/2 oz (15 ml) simple syrup - Ice cubes - Maraschino cherry and/or lemon slice for garnish (optional) Instructions: 1. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes. If you don't have a cocktail shaker, you can use a mixing glass or any container with a tight-fitting lid. 2. Pour in the whiskey, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup. 3. Secure the lid on the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds. This will thoroughly chill the ingredients and create a nice froth. 4. Strain the cocktail into a chilled rocks glass filled with ice. You can use a fine mesh strainer to remove any small ice chips if desired.
