The Simple Sour: A refreshing Bourbon cocktail

Are you looking for a cold refreshing cocktail for the hot summer days ahead? A cocktail that is easy peasy lemon squeezy? 😉

Well you came to the right place! Introducing…. The Simple Sour.

To be completely honest, until recently, I didn’t really drink whiskey. I usually stuck to a cold beer or a glass of wine as my drink of choice. But, here’s how that all changed..

If you don’t already know, I love to spend time with my family. We live in Michigan, so in the colder months, we often find ourselves at the cigar bar in town. And when I say often, I mean almost every Saturday [LOL]. I personally do not smoke, but it is a place where we all gather and spend quality time together, which I absolutely love!

I was just getting over a cold one of the days and asked the bartender to make me a whiskey drink, thinking maybe it would coat my throat and help with my lingering cough.

He made me a whiskey sour, and my view of whiskey was forever changed. Now, his version had some other liqueurs in it, Bullet bourbon, some soda, etc. It was delicious!

However, I wanted to create something similar without the soda (I’m not a fan of added sugars), and I wanted to keep it nice and easy!

Of course, I started experimenting and now believe I have perfected what I like to call “The Simple Sour.”

Feel free to tweak the measurements to your own preference!
