Sour cocktail is a classic mixology staple made with distilled spirits, acidic fruit juice, and syrup. Among them, the Whisky Sour is a timeless favourite that perfectly balances the sourness and sweetness.
Crafting a Whisky Sour cocktail is a simple and rewarding process. All you need are three key ingredients: whisky, acidic fruit juice (such as lemon, orange, or pineapple juice), and a sweetener (such as syrup, maple syrup, or honey). To make the cocktail, first combine these ingredients with ice in a cocktail shaker and shake until well-blended. Then, strain the mixture into a glass filled with ice. Finally, add a slice of fresh fruit for a beautiful finish. This classic cocktail is a testament to the enduring appeal of sour cocktails, and with The Singleton of Glen Ord whisky series, you can take your Whisky Sour to the next level.
