    This recipe is terrible. It should be made with Rye. Irish whiskey in this drink? Come on.
    A whiskey sour has egg white in it. Why was this omitted? And has Emeril never heard of a Boston Shaker? Putting a drink in a glass and stirring it does nothing.

    This is a great recipe. Simple and perfect. @fuddie: It's worth calling a recipe to me, because the recipe for store-bought sour mix is: Water, high fructose corn syrup, citric acid, lemon juice concentrate, sodium benzoate, sodium citrate, gum arabic, potassium sorbate, sorbitan monostearate, glycerol ester of wood rosin - yikes-- natural flavor, FD&C Yellow #5, and brominated vegetable oil. And it tastes like crap.

    More sweet than sour, but a great way to make Jim Beam palatable. Scotch is so much better, but ... if life gives you bourbon...add some lemon juice and sugar. :D

    I'll probably use half the sugar the next time for more of the sour flavor, but it's nice in a sicky sweet sort of way.
