Whisky (or Whiskey) Sours
As with most any drink or food recipe, it’s easy to jump on the net and lookup the recipe for pretty much any drink on the net, usually Wikipedia has a pretty good answer (as it does with most things.) But what happens to me, is I do that, lookup the recipe and then when I go to put the concoction together I’ve forgotten what was in it so I make something with the general gist of it. This recipe for the age old Whisky sours is exactly one of these. Now before I go on, I’m calling it a Whisky sours because I prefer Canadian and Scotch rather than American or Irish (with an e.)
Anyway, here’s the recipe:
- Muddle a heap of lemon and lime (3/4 of a lemon and half a lime, the more lemon is important)
- Add a splash of sugar syrup
- Add 60 ml of your favourite whisky (I prefer Canadian Club, but Johnnie Black goes a treat)
- Shake over ice
- Strain into a fresh short glass full of ice
- Top up with a little bit of soda water
- Garnish with a cherry and possibly a wedge of lime
