A whiskey sour is a classic cocktail that has both sour and sweet flavors. It can have many variations but typically is a blend of three ingredients: whiskey, sugar and lemon juice.
I saw amazing blood oranges on sale at the store last week, so I used them to make this delicious and refreshing cocktail for virtual happy hour.
Ingredients
- 2 ounces whiskey
- 1 ounce blood orange juice
- 1/2 ounce lemon juice
- 1/2 ounce simple syrup
- 1 maraschino cherry, optional
- Blood orange slice for garnish
Instructions
- Add ice to cocktail shaker.
- Pour the whiskey, blood orange juice, lemon juice and simple syrup over the ice. Cover and shake for around 15 seconds or until the shaker is frosty.
- Strain into a chilled cocktail glass, over ice, and add a cherry (if using) and a slice of orange to garnish.
Makes one drink.
