On POINT!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This cocktail is DELICIOUS!! I will make this drink again and again! It's not too sour either. It's just right. Instead of a... simple syrup I added Agave Nectar. Perfect drink for my palate!Read more

Absolutely simple and delicious Whiskey Sour
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I was given this recipe and gave it a try even though I can remember back to bitter whiskey sour days - made from a powdered... mix I think. These drinks are unbelievable fresh, really delicious and I did feel like I got a boost of vitamin C from the summery citrus flavor. I am planning to serve over the Christmas Holiday so no need to worry that they are too "summer-y" tasting. Just great!Read more

I saw this a few months back, and have been making them weekly. I did add more sugar. Still a little tarted, I will add... orange juice next time and see if that is better. Read more

We made these all summer long to welcome guests into our home for dinner parties. We also make a large batch for a family... reunion. Each time we serve them, they are a hit.Read more
