What I love most about this whiskey sour recipe is how easy it is. There are a number of ways and variations for a whiskey sour, but this is a simple version with a sour mix and no egg whites.
What’s in a Whiskey Sour?
The following recipe has three ingredients (plus garnish): whiskey, sour mix, and a squirt of lemonade. If you don’t have a sour mixture and don’t feel like making it, you can substitute (see recipe notes).
This classic cocktail reminds me of one of my favorite cocktails of all time: a sidecar. It’s easy to make, on the alcoholic side, but still very refreshing with a big kick of citrus.
If you want a whiskey sour with egg whites (for the frothy finish), try this Peach and Basil Whiskey Sour recipe.
