Key Ingredients
The star of our show today is, of course, Whiskey. We’re using a smooth, high-quality whiskey to give our cocktail a robust base. But the real game-changer here is the Cherry Juice. It adds a sweet, fruity twist that perfectly balances the tanginess of the sour mix.
How to Make
Making a Cherry Whiskey Sour is as easy as pie. First, fill your cocktail shaker with ice. Then, pour in 2 oz of whiskey, 1 oz of cherry juice, and 1 oz of sour mix. Shake it up like there’s no tomorrow. Strain it into a glass filled with ice, and voila! Your Cherry Whiskey Sour is ready to be enjoyed.
Tips and Tricks
Want to take your Cherry Whiskey Sour to the next level? Here are a few tips and tricks:
- Rim your glass with sugar for a sweet, fancy touch.
