Whiskey Sour cocktail

The classic Whisky Sour cocktail makes the perfect antidote to hot summer days; it can be easily made and enjoyed at home.

The Whiskey sour cocktail is an old classic, with the oldest mention of a whiskey sour published in the Wisconsin newspaper, Waukesha Plain Dealer, in 1870.

The traditional garnish is half an orange slice and a maraschino cherry.
