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.
