Cheers, nightlifers — today (August 25) is National Whiskey Sour Day! I know it’s not everyone’s favorite, but it’s a standard and it’s been around since the 1870s. In fact, I know several people who crave the mouth-puckering, throat-burning freshness of a WS when heading out or relaxing at home with friends. I took some tips from Colleen Graham at About.com’s cocktail blog and included some variations on the classic recipe below. But the best part about a WS is that any bartender, at any bar (and I will take on this challenge) knows how to make one.
Whiskey Sour: Classic recipe
Ingredients:
1 1/2 oz whiskey
1 1/2 oz lemon juice
3/4 oz sugar syrup
maraschino cherry for garnish
Preparation: Pour the bourbon, lemon juice, and sugar syrup into a cocktail shaker with ice cubes. Shake well. Strain into a chilled sour glass. Garnish with the cherry.
You can also switch the base liquor for a different sour experience. Common variations include a Absinthe Sour, Amaretto Sour, Apple Sour, Apricot Sour, Gin Sour, Grand Marnier Sour, Kahlua Sour, Midori Sour, Pisco Sour, Rum Sour, Scotch Sour, Tequila Sour and Vodka Sour.
