Enjoy a honey lemon whiskey sour for happy hour! This recipe modifies the classic whiskey sour by replacing the lime juice with lemon and the sugar with local honey.
Servings 1 cocktail
Calories 174kcal
Ingredients
- 2 ounces bourbon whiskey
- 1 ounce lemon juice preferably freshly squeezed
- 1 ounce honey syrup
- 1 egg white optional
- ice
Instructions
- Add whiskey, lemon juice, honey and egg white to cocktail shaker filled with ice.
- Place lid on cocktail shaker and shake hard, about 1-2 minutes.
- Strain liquid (no ice!) into a rocks glass to serve up, or with ice to serve on the rocks.
Notes
If may have a hard time dissolving straight honey, so you can make a honey syrup by diluting it hot water. Combine ½ ounce honey with ½ ounce hot water.
You can omit the egg white, too, but I think it makes for a lovely, frothy addition to this classic. I prefer my whiskey sours served up/neat, but you can also enjoy them on the rocks.
