This easy to make three ingredient Whiskey Sour Cocktail hits the sweet spot just right. The key to making this the best it can be is of course good fine whiskey and fresh lemon juice. Hubby and I love to mix up a batch of these refreshing libations on Saturday night after yard work and house chores. We love a good cold refreshing drink every now and then. Whether conversing with neighbors or just watching the sun go down they are always enjoyable. This drink, Appletini, Tequila Sunrise, and Grapefruit Margaritas are just a few of our favorite refreshing spring and summer adult beverages.
