Beloved Bourbon Sour Cocktail Recipe
I absolutely love making Bourbon Sour cocktails 🍹. They’re a delightful mix of sweet and tangy flavors, perfect for any occasion. Let’s dive into making this classic drink!
Equipment
- You’ll need a shaker to mix the drink properly for that smooth taste.
- If you don’t have a shaker, a mason jar with a lid works too!
- A jigger is crucial to get the measurements right.
- Make sure to have a strainer to filter out ice and pulp, giving your drink a clean finish.
- Lastly, don’t forget a rocks glass for that classic presentation.
Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to create this delicious drink:
- 2 oz Bourbon 🥃
- 1 oz Fresh lemon juice
- 0.75 oz Simple syrup
- Ice cubes
- Lemon slice and cherry for garnish
When it comes to bourbon, choose one you truly enjoy, as it’s the star of this cocktail. Fresh lemon juice makes a world of difference, so try to avoid bottled juice.
Instructions
- Add ingredients: Pour bourbon, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup into the shaker.
- Shake it up: Add ice cubes and shake well for about 20 seconds to blend the flavors.
- Strain and serve: Use a strainer to pour your mix into a rocks glass filled with ice.
- Garnish: Add a lemon slice and cherry on top to make it look inviting 🍋🍒.
Notes
When measuring, precision is key. Using a jigger can help maintain a balanced flavor. The key is in the shake; the longer you shake, the frothier the drink becomes.
For a sweeter cocktail, add a little extra simple syrup or adjust based on personal preferences. Experimenting with flavored bourbons might add an interesting twist!
