HotWired: Cocktail - Whiskey Sour

Whiskey Sour

Always steer clear of premixed sweet-and-sour mixes, unless you don't mind a hangover the morning after. If you like Whiskey Sours, try a Ward Eight.

Here's the recipe for a Whiskey Sour: Stir whiskey, juice, and sugar with ice; strain into a chilled tumbler filled with ice. Garnish with a cherry and an orange wedge. Add a swizzle stick and serve. Variation: add a splash of orange juice for a Stone Sour.
