Raise A Glass To Celebrate National Whiskey Sour Day
On August 25th you will be able to raise a glass to celebrate National Whisky Sour Day. Did you know that over a century ago, the Whiskey Sour originated as one of the simplest cocktails, with variations of whiskey, lemon juice, and sweetened with sugar? The mix lost attention after the prohibition era, but it re-surged with the heightened interest in craft cocktails. Thanks to whiskey’s newfound status and the use of fresh ingredients, the Whiskey Sour has made a strong comeback.
To celebrate the revival of the classic Whiskey Sour, we have a couple of great recipes below.

Shake and strain ingredients into an ice-filled rocks glass. Garnish with a lemon wedge or cherry.
