Whiskey Sour

Hey, know what I drank at the college party yesterday? A smashing thing! A euphorizing, strong yet easy 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!
