6 ounces of fresh-squeezed lemon juice (takes about 4-5 lemons)
6 Tablespoons sugar
15 ounces of water
9 ounces of top-shelf whiskey
maraschino cherries and juice
ice
The first step is to make your homemade sours mix. Do this by combining the lemon juice and water. Add sugar and stir until completely dissolved.
Add that mighty fine whiskey to the sours mixture.
** Note: Once HotDog and I finished that first gifted bottle, a well-intended acquaintance implored me to save some money and use a more economical brand of whiskey for future sours. The reasoning was that any difference would be undetectable since it will be masked by the other ingredients. I fell for the practicality. Let me tell you, “IT IS NOT SO, FRIENDS!” Learn from my error and get the really good stuff. It makes all the difference. Really. Truly. **
Pour about 6 or 7 ounces into a double old fashioned glass. You can add your preference of cubed or crushed ice at this point and be quite pleased with your creation. However, if you want to send this drink over the moon and bestow upon it the title of Pinkie Sour, add a couple maraschino cherries and a splash or two (aka a generous teaspoon) of cherry juice.
Stir it up. Drink it up. Don’t drive.
Makes about 6 cocktails.
Enjoy!
