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:

  1. Muddle a heap of lemon and lime (3/4 of a lemon and half a lime, the more lemon is important)
  2. Add a splash of sugar syrup
  3. Add 60 ml of your favourite whisky (I prefer Canadian Club, but Johnnie Black goes a treat)
  4. Shake over ice
  5. Strain into a fresh short glass full of ice
  6. Top up with a little bit of soda water
  7. Garnish with a cherry and possibly a wedge of lime
