This is the best whiskey sour recipe. I'm excited to share my favorite formula for this incredibly refreshing, super simple, absolutely delicious drink. Day drinking is the best, and if that day happens to be sunny and hot, there's no better cocktail to enjoy than a classic whiskey sour. Garnish with a slice of blood orange and a Luxardo cherry.

Best Stuffed Cabbage Rolls
Tender leaves of cabbage are wrapped around a hearty sirloin and rice filling and topped with a homemade tomato sauce in this family-friendly recipe for stuffed cabbage leaves. The hint of allspice and slight tang from vinegar create a perfect balance in this dish. They remind me of eating at a Lebanese food festival, although not quite as spicy. Serve with Greek salad or tabouli salad and warm pita for the perfect bite!
