Really good cocktail, however a bit stiff and the lemon is a bit overpowering. I added a bit more simple syrup and that helped a lot.
My hubby made this drink for me and, Oh my, so yummy. After reading some of the reviews I was a little apprehensive about drinking it but this was wonderfully refreshing. Will definitely have this again.
First time making it and it came out perfect. Now I need to upgrade my whisky.
Superb recipe! Perfect as written. Made for a delightful evening!
love it. celebrating my dads passing 10 years. his favorite
Very good and a pleasure to drink.
This is really a nice Whiskey Sour. Pleasant to drink, and very easy to make. I did find for my taste preference, I wanted more ‘sour’ to this, so I’d probably add another ounce of lemon juice next time. Overall a great drink though! Thanks for sharing your recipe!
So I followed this recipe to a t and it came out a bit too sour for my taste but I slightly modified it. I went 2 oz of syrup and lemon juice with 4 oz of Jim Beam with 1 tsp of maraschino cherry juice and that was a winner for my party the other night. Great recipe for me to build off of. Try it !
It was wonderful. Will definitely make again.
I have made it with both lemon and lime (probably called something else!) and it was wonderful.
Made for the first time and Husband loved it. I cut down the whiskey to 4 ounces and skipped cherries.
I made this with Jack Daniel’s and lemons fresh off my brother in law’s tree… it was fantastic. This was supposed to be three servings? Oops… I served it as two. I think I’m going to go make another round right now.
I made it with ReaLemon juice rather than juicing fresh lemons. Easy and excellent! It was the perfect feature cocktail for our ‘sweet and sour’ dinner party. Sip it, don’t swig it- it’s a stiff drink!
I’ve been struggling to make a “from scratch” whiskey sour for a couple years, and have never been successful. FINALLY a whiskey sour that’s good! It definitely is strong so beware. My husband doesn’t like them so I made myself one as follows: 0.5oz simple syrup/1oz lemon juice/2oz whiskey and put it in a tumbler with ice. Yum.
I’ve made this drink three times now. It’s wonderful each and every time. I do add a little water over the drink. Love it?? Also good for a sore throat;)
Loved it! Made one minor change, added another half ounce of simple syrup.
Go big or go home! Great recipe; not a bourbon drinker, so I make these with Canadian Club. Perfect. Too strong and/or too sour? Add 1/2 to 1 ounce of orange juice. And you don’t get all the chemicals in those sour mixes. My favorite winter drink.
Whiskey Sours are one of my favorite drinks. (Of course, I’ve met few drinks that aren’t my favorites.) Finding myself with only a bottle of Seagrams 7 and no palatable mixers and too lazy to go to the liquor store for the vodka and/or wine I really wanted, I tried this recipe. I found it way too sour and added A LOT more simple syrup, some cherry juice along with the cherries and a little splash of orange juice since I didn’t have any fresh oranges. I like a slice of orange in my whiskey sours. Then it tasted real gooooooood. Poured it in a big ol’ wine goblet along with the ice and drank it all myself. Lucky me! hiccup. . . Granted it would probably be better (or stronger) with a real whiskey, but I thought the whiskey amount was just about right for my three-drink maximum goblet. Next time, less lemon juice, more sugar syrup, orange and lots of cherries. Drink up and go home.
This is a perfect recipe for whiskey sours. It matches the recipe given to me by the ONLY bartender in my city I allow to make them for me (this was after having very terrible versions of what people called whiskey sours). The bartender uses W.L. Weller as the choice of whiskey. A very delicious drink… when made right.
Note, this recipe is for THREE drinks. For one use 3 oz whiskey, 1 oz lemon juice, .5 oz syrup (or more to taste. I usually put a little of the cherry juice in as well. A true classic cocktail and easy to make. I prefer the Manhattan to the sour, but to each his or her own. Cheers!
Hadn’t had a Whiskey Sour in YEARS! But found this recipe and really liked it. No mixes, just straight sweet/sour and whiskey! It’s the real deal!
