Whiskey Sour


Hey, know what I drank at the college party yesterday? A smashing thing! A euphorizing, strong yet easy cocktail called “Whiskey Sour“. I’m really fond of collecting cocktail recipes so i came up to the bar tender and checked the ingredients (put it down on a napkin). Here is what it takes to make it (check this online wine store for the whiskey options):

  • 2 or 3 ounces whiskey (can be anything from Barton Blend to Black Bush Irish)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 or 1 teaspoon superfine sugar
  • 3 or 4 ice cubes
  • 1 orange or lemon slice or peel
  • Maraschino cherry

    Mix all ingredients but the fruit slice or peel and cherry in a shaker (make sure you give it a hard shake). Strain into a sour or Delmonico glass and garnish with the fruit and cherry. Heh, just try it you you are guaranteed to love it!

  • Easy Holiday Entertaining - Spirited Tips


    From sophisticated holiday soirees to casual gatherings, legendary nights require the right mix of fun, friends and spirits.

    The pros at Southern Comfort and Finlandia Vodka offer some time-tested tips that will help ensure that your holiday get-together is the talk among your friends:

    SoCoc

      * Offer five to six appetizers per person if other food is available; seven to eight if it’s not.
      * Have 2 to 3 pounds of ice on hand for every 10 people; double this amount if serving frozen drinks.
      * Chill glasses by filling them with ice and water before making and serving drinks.
      * Pour drinks immediately after blending to keep them from getting watery.
      * Measure everything. Your drinks will taste better. One bottle of Southern Comfort or Finlandia Vodka provides, roughly, 10 1- to 1 1/2-ounce pours.
      * Utilize fresh fruits and spices of the season for the perfect cocktail, from a caipiroska to a mojito to a martini.
      * Keep up on the latest cocktail trends, but serve a few signature cocktails as well. Or, put a twist on classic drinks, such as these recipes for a Finlandia Cranberry Smash and a SoCo Eggnog Martini.
