A whiskey sour is a classic cocktail that has both sour and sweet flavors. It can have many variations but typically is a blend of three ingredients: whiskey, sugar and lemon juice.

I saw amazing blood oranges on sale at the store last week, so I used them to make this delicious and refreshing cocktail for virtual happy hour.

Ingredients

• 2 ounces whiskey
• 1 ounce blood orange juice
• 1/2 ounce lemon juice
• 1/2 ounce simple syrup
• 1 maraschino cherry, optional
• Blood orange slice for garnish

Instructions

• Add ice to cocktail shaker. 
• Pour the whiskey, blood orange juice, lemon juice and simple syrup over the ice. Cover and shake for around 15 seconds or until the shaker is frosty.
• Strain into a chilled cocktail glass, over ice, and add a cherry (if using) and a slice of orange to garnish.

Makes one drink.
