A sour is one of the oldest types of cocktails that contains equal parts sweet and sour with two parts of a strong (in this case, whiskey). With sweet and sour notes, a whisky sour is a lovely balance between the whiskey, lemon juice, and sugar syrup. Whiskey sours have been around since the late 1800s, and people enjoy the balance of sweet and sour with strong whiskey. Use any whiskey you choose here, but it’s nice with rye and with a smooth Canadian whisky.
Instructions
In a cocktail shaker, combine the whiskey, lemon juice, and simple syrup.
Add the ice and shake.
Pour into a rocks glass filled with ice.
