I just had to share this recipe. My sister in law and I like to make these on our weekends at beach, as they go down delightfully and sooth our ears of screaming kids. (Not like any liquor doesn't but whatever, these are yummy!) They even have the magic power to take me right back to my college formals. However, please note they are not neon green and I am not wearing a tight black dress with glitter on my chest and shoulders and cocktail remnants in my cleavage.
Drum roll please.......
Whiskey Sours (a la Ina Garten, The Barefoot Contessa: The women I want to be (except not as large. Oh my gosh, was that mean? Sorry.) because I want her house, cooking talents, cool ass grocery store & entertaining capabilities.)
Mix:
2/3 cup simple syrup (equal parts water and sugar- heated and dissolved. I like to store a ton of this in a mason jar in my fridge. I feel a teensy bit like Ina when I have this on hand.)
3/4 cup Jack (As in Daniels. Mmmmmmm... Tennessee Whiskey- come to Mama)
1/2 cup Real Lime (I have bought stock in this stuff)
1/2 cup Real Lemon (you could truly be Ina Garten and squeeze your own juices, but why? Hmmm... maybe that's why I'm not the Barefoot Contessa. I bet it would be delectable with REAL Real Lemon and Lime. More power to ya if you want to squeeze this.)
Stir together
Pour into a shaker with ice. Shake. (duh)
Put one cherry and a touch of cherry juice (The more high fructose corn syrup the better, in my opinion anyway)
into rocks or martini glasses (Put ice in the rocks glasses, none in the martinis. It's all about presentation people. You do not, under any circumstances put ice in a martini glass.)
Pour out your heavenly whiskey concoction.
Drink (sure it's sourish, but it ain't no Whiskey Sweet)
Enjoy in the formal dress of your choosing. If it is pink or unsluttly, you are not permitted to drink this cocktail. Joking... enjoy!!!!

It's warm here today and that drink would really hit the spot! Thanks for the follow on my blog! I hope you have a great week! :0)
That drink looks delicious.
When the weather is warmer I may have to try that.
Thank you for following my blog and for the nice comment :)
Sounds great!!
I noticed you linked to my Fury entry yesterday. I mean I think that's what happened, but I'm such a blogidiot, I can't tell if that's what the little "Links to this post" message is about at the bottom of yesterday's rant. Anyway, I'm glad I looked closer, because that led me back over here to read more of your blog. Your recipe sounds MUCH better than my idea of snow and vodka. Cheers!
That drink sounds absolutely fabulous (and it's Monday morning...yeah...it's gonna be week from hell #2 in a row, I can feel it already!)
Thanks for stopping by my place this a.m.! Keep the drink recipes coming...I am now a huge fan of yours! :)
ps - I have had that picture of the chimp with the gun on your sidebar on my desktop forever waiting for the right opportunity to use it! I immediately freakin loved you!

um...totally bookmarking this post...and then pretending that I concocted this delicious looking drink spir-of-the-moment. Is that wrong?
...that would be "spur" not "spir."
Apparently I'm already drunk.
Looking yummy! I am gonna try that on my next date with my hubby!
YUM! I may have to try this drink out!
Sounds delish! Can you make me one?
Must I wear a formal??
I can't drink it at home alone in my sweats :)
This sounds like a great recipe, I've been wanting a good whiskey sour one.
Yes, there is no substitute to Kentucky and Tennessee whiskey.
I've been to the Jack distillery in fact. Of course I was 5 ;)
