A good Whiskey Sour is a wonderful thing. The tart and spice of the two main ingredients combine to give you a drink you’ll, at first, want to drink fast like a good lemonade. But, if you take your time with this one, the melting ice just makes the drink better and better with each minute that passes. I mention cold all the time on this page but cold and the ingredients of a Whiskey Sour truly combine to make the cocktail. Take your time with this one; swirl the ice around the glass as you drink it. When it’s time for a second, remember to make it in the same glass. Keep the leftover ice and the drink’s remains. Just build your second on top of your first. Add a few new cubes, and you’ll be good to go. I prefer rye in my Whiskey Sour, it’s spicier but feel free to use bourbon.

Here we go –

• 2 ounces Rye or Bourbon
• 1 ounce Lemon Juice
• 1 teaspoon Powdered Sugar

Shake ingredients in a shaker ‘til ice-cold. Strain drink into an old fashioned glass.
Sink an orange slice and a maraschino cherry into it.
