Balance is key to making the perfect whiskey sour. Too much of one ingredient will over-power the others, so stay true to the proportions in this cocktail. Fresh ingredients are always key to a perfect cocktail, so don’t cheat yourself, by using store-bought items.

We always love a day that we can drink here at The Bourbon Flight. Cheers!!!
