Categories     Food & Cooking     Drink Recipes     Cocktail Recipes

Yield Makes 4 drinks

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/4 cups freshly squeezed orange juice
Sanding sugar, for glasses
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
4 ounces bourbon
2 cups ice cubes
orange or lemon slices, for garnish

Steps:

  • Prepare 4 glasses: Place 1/4 cup orange juice in a shallow dish. Fill another shallow dish 1/2-inch deep with sanding sugar. Dip rims of glasses into juice and then into sugar. Chill in refrigerator 10 minutes.
  • Place remaining 1 cup orange juice, sugar, lemon juice, and bourbon in a blender. Fill blender to top with ice. Blend until smooth, and transfer to prepared glasses. Garnish with orange or lemon slices.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemon juice. Fresh lemon juice has a brighter, more vibrant flavor than bottled lemon juice. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but be sure to use a good quality brand.
  • Don't skimp on the whiskey. A good whiskey sour is made with a generous amount of whiskey. Don't be afraid to use a good quality whiskey that you enjoy drinking.
  • Use simple syrup. Simple syrup is a mixture of equal parts sugar and water that is heated until the sugar dissolves. Simple syrup helps to balance out the sourness of the lemon juice and add a touch of sweetness to the drink.
  • Shake the drink well. Shaking the drink helps to incorporate all of the ingredients and create a smooth, frothy texture.
  • Garnish the drink with a lemon twist or cherry. A lemon twist or cherry adds a finishing touch to the drink and makes it look more inviting.

Conclusion:

The whiskey sour is a classic cocktail that is easy to make and can be enjoyed by everyone. With its combination of sweet, sour, and boozy flavors, the whiskey sour is the perfect drink to enjoy on a hot summer day or a cold winter night. So next time you're looking for a refreshing and flavorful cocktail, give the whiskey sour a try.
