Whiskey Sour
The Whiskey Sour is a classic cocktail combining bourbon whiskey with freshly squeezed lemon juice and simple syrup for balance. Shaken over ice and strained into a glass, it yields a bright, smooth drink with a refreshing tartness. Optional garnishes like a maraschino cherry and orange slice add a traditional touch. This drink is served chilled, with or without additional ice, catering to personal preference.
