If it's not made from scratch, it ain't a Whiskey Sour. For a cleaner, classier looking drink, strain the lemon juice to remove seeds and pulp.

Yield Makes 1

Number Of Ingredients 7

Lemon wedge
1 teaspoon superfine sugar, plus more for rim
Ice
1 1/2 ounces whiskey
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Lemon slice, for garnish
Cherry, for garnish

Steps:

  • Rub the rim of an old fashioned glass with lemon wedge. Fill a saucer with sugar, and dip the glass, upside down, into the sugar.
  • Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add whiskey, lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon superfine sugar, and shake until sugar dissolves. Strain into an ice-filled old fashioned glass, and garnish with lemon slice and a cherry.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will not be as good.
  • If you don't have simple syrup, you can make your own by dissolving 1 cup of sugar in 1 cup of boiling water. Let the syrup cool completely before using.
  • If you don't have egg whites, you can use aquafaba, the liquid from a can of chickpeas. Aquafaba can be whipped just like egg whites, and it will give your sour mix a nice frothy texture.
  • If you don't have fresh cherries, you can use frozen cherries. Just thaw them before using.
  • Feel free to experiment with different types of whiskey. Bourbon, rye, and Irish whiskey all work well in this recipe.
  • Garnish your sour with a lemon twist, a cherry, or both.

Conclusion:

Lemon whiskey sours are a refreshing and delicious cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a new cocktail to try, give lemon whiskey sours a try. You won't be disappointed.
