 Strawberry Whiskey Sour

A satisfying combination of whiskey, fresh citrus juice, and simple syrup, whiskey sours is one of the most popular cocktails from the sours family. Sour, sweet, tart with a punch of whiskey.

I am currently obsessed with this cocktail. 

Fresh citrus juice is key for an amazing whiskey sour, please no bottled – people it only takes a few seconds to squeeze fresh citrus juice and trust me it makes all the difference.  A traditional Whiskey Sour includes egg white which can dilute the sourness of the cocktail, but the layer of froth makes for a smother cocktail. I find it a personal preference – many are turned off the egg froth for fear of salmonella, but I do urge you to try it at least once.

Whiskey – Citrus juice – simple syrup three simple ingredients is all you need to make a whiskey sours, it’s pretty fail proof and I adore them in their original version, but today I want to share a sour berry version that is worth every extra minute to prepare. Strawberry whiskey sours made with sour strawberries and fresh lime juice.

Macerate fresh strawberries, sugar, lime zest and lime juice until the berries soften, soak in all that sour goodness and create a sour-sweet syrup you will use to make your whiskey sours.
