Whiskey Sour

A classic lemon whiskey sour should be made from scratch, or it isn't a whiskey sour. For a cleaner, classier-looking drink, strain the lemon juice to remove seeds and pulp. This cocktail is best served in tumblers full of ice.

Ingredients

• 60ml whiskey
• 30ml fresh lemon juice
• 15ml bitter orange or marmalade simple syrup
• orange wedge peel or wheel
• maraschino cherry 
• Ice

1. Fill cocktail shaker with ice
2. Add the whiskey, lemon juice, simple syrup into the cocktail shaker
3. Shake for 15-20 seconds
4. Strain into a rocks glass filled with fresh ice.

A delicious variation on the classic is a creamy whiskey sour marrying the traditional sour flavours with a rich velvety texture. This version incorporates cream or egg white which adds a smooth mouthfeel and a frothy head enhancing the drinks visual appeal/
