For the base of this cocktail, choose any whiskey you have on hand: Scotch, Irish, Canadian, or bourbon. Traditionally, the spirit is mixed with lemon juice and simple syrup, but to save time searching for or making syrup, simply prepare a separate sour mix and mix it with the whiskey. Serve the Whiskey Sour after a meal, garnishing each serving with a cocktail cherry, and enjoy the balance of tart and sweet flavors.
