A classic lemon whiskey sour should be made from scratch, or it ain't a whiskey sour. For a cleaner, classier-looking drink, strain the lemon juice to remove seeds and pulp. This cocktail can be served in martini glasses or tumblers full of ice.
Ingredients
- fluid ounces whiskey: 5 piece
- fluid ounces fresh lemon juice: 2 piece
- simple syrup: 1 fl oz
- ice cubes: 1 cup (or as needed)
- maraschino cherries: 3 piece (for garnish)
