I have many memories tied to whiskey sours. Collin, my husband, and I drank whiskey sours the night we met. I then made several batches of this for the wedding of one of my high school girlfriends. This drink was also a success at a recent camping trip. This basic recipe yields a 725 ml batch and can be measured and prepared in advance. When happy hour begins, just add the cocktail to some ice and top with a cherry.
1
Make homemade sweet and sour by combining the lemon juice, lime juice, and agave syrup. Stir until the agave syrup is fully dissolved, then add whiskey. Reserve in a pitcher or equivalent.
2
At serving time, fill each glass with ice and top with a maraschino cherry. Shake a portion of the mix with a cocktail shaker to combine and chill. Strain into the serving glass. Alternatively, the premixed cocktail could also be poured directly into the serving glass.
