I read on Good Spirits News that today is National Whiskey Sour Day!
As with all these random-seeming drink holidays, I won’t put up too much fuss or question its origin — as any reason to celebrate a cocktail is reason enough!
Whiskey Sour
About This Cocktail:
For my Whiskey Sour pictured above, I used Woodford Reserve:
Ingredients:
•2 oz rye or bourbon or other whiskey of preference. I actually used 2 oz of Woodford Reserve bourbon, which has a lot of rye in its mash bill.
•.5 oz simple syrup
•.5 oz fresh lemon juice
Preparation:
Shake all ingredients over ice and strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice.
Some recipes for the Whiskey Sour cocktail call for an egg white, as a lot of old sours recipes do… But a lot of recipes these days list egg white as “optional.” I didn’t use egg white in the drink pictured above, but you’ll find it listed in some of the recipes I linked to in this post.
