There’s a reason why the classics are the classics. They never go out of style and are just so damn good. While cocktail trends come and go, we love going back to our faves and that includes the timeless Whisky Sour. This recipe, courtesy of Forty Creek Whisky is beautifully simple as it lets the whisky take centre stage as it should. Using just 5 ingredients (if you count ice cube), it’s pretty likely that you have everything you’ll need.
