Whiskey Sour



This is my new favorite cocktail for summer.  It's a refreshing drink when sitting outside on a patio with a cocktail and a cigar.  I was enjoying these last night on the patio of J Buck's in Clayton while smoking a Padron 1964 Principe Natural. 

Here's the recipe:

Ingredients:
  • 2 oz Bourbon (Makers Mark)
  • 2/3 oz Lemon Juice
  • 1 tsp Sugar
  • 1 maraschino cherry
Instructions:
  1. Stir sugar and lemon juice together in a shaker.
  2. Add bourbon.
  3. Fill shaker with ice.
  4. Shake bourbon, lemon juice, and sugar.
  5. Strain into a martini glass, or serve over ice in an old fashioned glass.
  6. Garnish with a maraschino cherry.
Notes:
Traditionally these are served in a martini glass or a whiskey sour glass.  However, I prefer mine in an old fashioned glass with ice.
