Ingredients
1/2 cup sugar
2 ounces bourbon
3/4 ounce lemon juice, plus 1 lemon wedge, for garnish
1 cocktail cherry, for garnish
Directions
- Make the simple syrup: Heat the sugar and 1/2 cup water in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Remove from the heat and let cool.
- Combine the bourbon, lemon juice and 3/4 ounce simple syrup in a cocktail shaker with ice; shake well, then strain into a glass. Garnish with the lemon wedge and cherry.
Cook’s Note
Some bartenders add an egg white to their whiskey sours, giving the drink a silky texture and foamy top. Add 1 pasteurized egg white to the bourbon, lemon juice and simple syrup and vigorously “dry shake” (without ice), then add ice and “wet shake” to chill the drink; strain.
